    The international travel industry depends on safe and efficient border and immigration controls. Innovative technologies can help to increase efficiency and address security challenges. Some airlines, such as Emirates and AirAsia, as well as some airports around the world, are already investing in seamless biometric technologies, such as facial recognition. These kinds of biometric identification and 'no-touch' technologies deliver seamless and frictionless experiences for travellers crossing by air, land, and sea. Using biometrics to automate processes can improve traffic flows and service delivery overall, but it is not yet known how easily and quickly these new technologies will be adapted.
