The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the global tourism sector is redefining traditional paradigms, paving the way for enhanced personalization of travel experiences and operational optimization. This transformation is exemplified by initiatives such as the strategic alliance between OpenAI and Booking.com, aimed at providing innovative solutions to SMEs, and efforts by countries like South Korea and Cambodia to incorporate AI into their tourism strategies. However, this technological revolution comes with significant challenges, notably in security, data protection, and technological dependency.
