More and more tourism companies are using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their services and provide a better experience for their customers. In this article, we will discuss six applications of AI in tourism, with concrete examples of how these applications are used.

#1: Chatbots

One of the main applications of AI in tourism is the use of chatbots to help customers plan their trip. Chatbots are computer programs that are able to understand and use natural language to communicate with humans. Many companies use chatbots to help customers find available flights, hotels, and activities, and answer questions about their travels. For example: the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines chatbot helps customers find flights and provides information about their journey, such as departure times and baggage rules.

#2: Machine learning

Another application of AI in tourism is using machine learning to provide personalized travel advice. By analyzing large amounts of data about individual customers’ preferences and travel habits, companies in the tourism industry can train AI systems to provide personalized travel advice. For example, Expedia’s app uses machine learning to provide customers with personalized offers and travel recommendations based on their previous bookings and search history.

#3: Optimization customer service

Furthermore, more and more hotels and tourist attractions are using AI to improve their customer service. For example, AI systems may be able to help customers book rooms and activities, and answer their questions about the hotel or attraction. For example, the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco uses an AI system called Connie to help customers book rooms and provide information about the hotel and the surrounding area.

#4: Image recognition

A fourth application of AI is the use of image recognition technology to analyze and automatically label photos of tourist attractions. For example, this can be used by tourism organizations to provide information about attractions to tourists taking photos with their smartphones. For example, the Japan National Tourism Organization uses AI to analyze photos of tourist attractions in Japan and tag them with information about the attraction.

#5: Marketing

In addition, AI can also be used to improve the effectiveness of marketing campaigns in the tourism industry. By analyzing data about customer behavior and response to various marketing efforts, AI systems can help identify and implement the most effective marketing strategies. For example: the Belgian tourist agency Visit Flanders uses AI to analyze and improve the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns.

#6: Bridge language barriers

Finally, AI can also be used to bridge language barriers in the tourism industry. By developing AI systems that are able to understand and speak multiple languages, companies in the tourism industry can better serve customers no matter what language they speak. For example, the company Unbabel develops AI systems capable of understanding and speaking multiple languages and offers these services to companies in the tourism industry.
