Love this perspective on the strategic implementation of AI in tourism infrastructure. Your point about strategy moving faster than structure perfectly captures the common pitfalls, reminiscent of how unvalidated models can proliferate in development without proper MLOps practises. What if this superficial application of AI ultimately hinders our ability to leverage its true potential for complex challenges like climate resilience and sustainable resource management, rather than just optimizing booking funnels for short-term succes?
Such a great point. Honestly, that’s the crossroads we’re standing at. Everyone’s racing to automate and optimize, but if all AI does is squeeze a few extra bookings, we’ve missed the plot.
The real opportunity isn’t in faster funnels. It’s in smarter destinations. Using AI to forecast climate risks, balance tourism flows, and protect what makes a place special. That’s where it actually gets exciting.
Short-term wins might fill beds, but long-term thinking keeps destinations worth visiting.
All for great technology but there has to be intentional use, you can’t just implement for the sake of it. Great points.
