MIC Tourism Technologies by Microsoft
MIC Tourism Technologies by Microsoft is the world’s first technology centre dedicated specifically to tourism and was recently opened at the Parc Bit in Majorca. It was set up through a cooperation agreement with the Balearic Islands Regional Government (Govern Balear). The selection of this location can be put down to the strong links of the area to the tourism industry and specific technological developments for the sector. At present over twenty international airports and airlines, 50,000 marina moorings and half a million hotel beds are managed through software developed in the Balearic Islands. A winning combination for continuing an innovation process for the generation of state of the art technology for the sector, linking technical know-how and in depth knowledge of the industry. The MIC will offer Balearic Islands businesses direct access to the latest Microsoft R&D resources. It will carry out specific piloting projects to meet the needs of the local tourism industry. The projects are to be exportable, both within Spain as well as abroad. The main goal is to promote changes in the technological environment with a knock-on effect on the tourism industry, heightening its competitivity. It will provide consultancy and training services to local businesses developing software for the tourism industry such as travel agency or hotel management programs. Local businesses will be able to access Microsoft products before they come on to the market.
