Digital identities mean we will be able to travel from anywhere to everywhere – by air, land, or sea – without needing to show our physical travel documents – neither a passport, visa, health form, boarding pass, or driving license. They will be the passkey for unlocking every stage of the journey, from the earliest intention to travel, all the way to destination activities and the return journey.
