AI and automation are terms that we are by now all familiar with, but how exactly can they be used in a travel and hospitality context? As new-age tools such as chatbots and machine learning become more commonplace in our personal and professional lives, driving a digital transformation of products and services, businesses are seeking out new ways to enhance the guest experience by providing personalised solutions and to make more informed decisions that drive future profitability and growth. But is AI / automation something to be embraced or wary of, and are there lessons that we can learn from other sectors?
