SUMMARY:BU Artificial Intelligence for Tourism and Hospitality – #IFITTtalk
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT \n\nThe (re) emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a service automation approach leveraging low cost computing and large datasets is impacting consumer experiences and is set to revolutionize tourism experiences. The ubiquitous and prevailing use of mobile devices for communication assures that stakeholders of such ‘consumer experiences’ are required to provide rapid responses to contextual queries made at any time\, including within an experience encounter or activity at a destination level. AI tools that can make sense of real-time questions posed by consumers in context can provide significant value and increase engagement as well as reducing costs to destination organizations. The use of AI by tourism organizations is still low and this workshop will explore the opportunities and challenges of engaging AI as a customer co-creation toolset for industry and economic benefits. It will conclude with a scenario development exercise to identify possible futures for AI and Tourism along with a roadmap for the next 3 years of AI/Tourism development. \nChairs: Professor Dimitrios Buhalis and Dr Nigel Williams \n\nREGISTRATION \n\nFree registration is available here: https://tinyurl.com/BU-IFITT-AI \n\nPROGRAMME \n\n09:00 –09:30 Arrival and networking FG06 \n09:30-11:00 Artificial Intelligence for Tourism and Hospitality – theoretical perspectives  \n© Professor Dimitrios Buhalis and Dr Nigel Williams : Artificial Intelligence for Tourism and Hospitality: From individuals to clusters\n© Dr Iis Tussyadiah University of Surrey\, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence\n© Dr Luiz Mendes Filho\, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte\, Brazil\, Smart Tourism developments\nDr Chulmo Koo\, Kyung Hee University\, Korea\, Smart Tourism and Artificial Intelligence\nProfessor Hannes Werthner Vienna University of Technology\, Austria – The future of Artificial Intelligence \n11:00-11:30 Coffee and networking \n11:30-13:00 Artifilcial Intelligence for Tourism and Hospitality – best practice  \nGergana Halatcheva\, GHS Global Hospitality\nLee Mallon\, Rarely Impossible\nJamie Sergeant This is Crown\nRowena (Copestake) Revill\nNikos Maniatis The Cato Bot\nRob Monster  DigitalTown\nTom Keeping Keeping Studio\nManolis Varouhas imonline \n13:00 -14:00 Networking Lunch \n14:00-15:30 Workshops Designing the future of Articial Intelligence in Tourism \n15:30-16:00 Break and Networking \n16:00-17:00 Conclusions  Research and Innovation agendas for the future\nChairs: Professor Dimitrios Buhalis and Dr Nigel Williams\nAI Fusion: Future research – Projects  –  Publications  –  Best Practice Excellence  –  Education Innovations \n\nLOCATION \n\nFG06\, Fusion\, Bournemouth University\, BH12 5BB\, UK\neTourismLab\, Department of Tourism and Hospitality\, Bournemouth University
