From AI powered travel agencies to travel smart hotels, AI is altering all dimensions of the travel industry. So grab your travel bags because we are about to showcase the most dynamic AI technologies ever implemented in tourism!

The AI Tourism Revolution

How many of you are old enough to remember how cumbersome it was to plan for a trip, going through a stack of guidebooks, and ringing travel agents one after the other? Such things are slowly dying out. With the latest advancements, the tourism industry has witnessed the emergence of AI driven services which are more custom based, user friendly and engaging. This paper sought to identify all the emerging trends in this new area of study and what it holds for the tourists.

Personalized Trip Planning: AI as Your Dream Travel Agent

Just with your budget, likes, and social media caffeine purchases, AI algorithms are capable of customizing the holiday by constructing a schedule of visits to destinations.

Such a functional example: Utrip is a new interactive site that has integrated artificial intelligence to provide each traveler with a detailed itinerary and plans based on their preferences and financial ability. It has partnered with the major tourism boards and travel firms, which facilitates travel planning.

Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: Your 24/7 Travel Companion

AI chatbots provide a detailed help in travel and assistance at any time of the day or night.

Real world impact: More than half (50%+) of all requests to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines’ BlueBot (BB) regarding assistance are booked by its users; these are requests related to flight status information, assistance with booking or even a request of assistance when checking in.

Smart Hotels: AI at the Service of Hotel Business

AI is optimizing hotels through the smart rooms and the smart predictive maintenance.

Creative innovation: Hilton’s AI robot concierge “Connie,” converses with guests about the temporal-linguistic hotel features as well as nearby sites making the stay worthwhile.

Augmented Reality Tours: Making History Interesting

Tourist attractions have also highly benefitted from augmented reality AR applications enhancing visitor experience.

A proud accomplishment: The use of AI in augmented reality shows how the travelling American museums have revived extinct animals in their museum’s educating non-science inclined visitors.

The Human Touch in AI-Powered Tourism

Even as AI is set to revolutionize tourism these technologies should not make uncomfortable the lack of physical interaction by the hosts to enhance the travel experience. All the major AI tourism measures strike a balance between the impersonality and efficiency of AI and the warmth and culture of the human hosts.

Ethical Consideration in the Use of AI in the Field of Tourism

Whenever we talk about the integration of AI in tourism, it is imperative that ethical considerations in the tourism industry are also highlighted. How to make sure that the AI solutions do not fuel the fire of over-tourism in the hot spots? How do we balance the need for personal data and care for privacy of the users of the service? These are some of the questions that the industry is currently trying to resolve.
