Tourism industry leverages AI to enhance human connection

In the era of artificial intelligence, the tourism industry is focusing on using technology to enhance human connection rather than replace it. This shift aligns with the World Tourism Day theme, which emphasizes a ‘Digital and Artificial Intelligence Agenda to redesign tourism.’

Metropolitan Touring is utilizing tools such as Salesforce to centralize and analyze traveler data, including preferences and interests. This allows service teams to anticipate guest needs and provide more personalized attention. Sharian Lópe notes that while AI helps in understanding guests and customizing experiences, it is intended to support, not substitute, human conversation and contact.
