Turkey tourism sector advances through AI platforms and digital workshops

The tourism sector in Turkey is undergoing digital advancements through new educational tools and industry workshops. Dokuz Eylül University has developed ‘Kampüsten Sektöre’, an AI-supported digital platform designed to bridge the gap between tourism and gastronomy students and the professional workforce. The system evaluates students not only on academic credentials and professional skills but also on social responsibility projects and volunteer work to provide a comprehensive profile for employers.

In Çeşme, industry leaders and representatives from major digital travel platforms, including Trip.com and Tripadvisor, are convening for the ‘İzmir Digital Transformation Workshop’. The event focuses on enhancing the international competitiveness of Turkey and the Aegean region through digital visibility, online sales strategies, and digital reputation management. The workshop aims to leverage digital transformation to grow tourism revenue and the local economy.
