A Collaborative Community

6x Hack the AI Workstreams

These high-level strategic bi-monthly discussions provide a structured framework for DMOs to collaboratively share insights, best practices and overcome challenges related to optimising highly-specific AI applications and collectively refine a joint strategic direction for managing AI's impact on the sector.

Discussion
Thread

Fostering ongoing knowledge exchange, this regular dialogue enables DMOs to stay abreast of the rapid advancements and emerging trends in the dynamic field of AI to remain at the forefront of innovation.

Prototyping
Lab

This collaborative space will facilitate the sharing of practical experiments between DMOs, focused on exchanging feedback on the effectiveness of AI tools, integration potential and prompt engineering.

5 Hyper-Practical
Modules

The programme runs online over the course of 5 weeks and is made up of 5 modules which contain lessons, case studies and workshop packages.

Text

AI can assist in generating destination guides, crafting compelling marketing copy and even translating and localising content for multiple languages.
AI can assist in generating destination guides, crafting compelling marketing copy and even translating and localising content for multiple languages. Beyond static content, AI chatbots are enabling interactive experiences, providing personalised itinerary suggestions based on individual preferences and past travel history.
These intelligent assistants can answer traveller queries in real time, offer tailored recommendations for attractions and activities and even facilitate bookings, enhancing the overall customer journey and fostering deeper engagement with destinations and brands.

Image

Beyond simple enhancements, AI has the potential to generate entirely new images or create recreations of the past, opening up creative possibilities for visualising destinations.
Existing images can be augmented to make them more vibrant and eye-catching. Beyond simple enhancements, AI has the potential to generate entirely new images or create recreations of the past, opening up creative possibilities for visualising destinations and experiences in unique and imaginative ways.
This capability allows for the development of highly targeted campaigns, where imagery can be tailored to specific audience segments and platforms. AI can also analyse image data to identify trends and preferences, informing the selection of visuals that resonate most strongly with travellers.

Video

Video editing tools can automate tedious tasks, allowing tourism businesses to respond rapidly to current events or trending topics with fresh video content.
Video editing tools can automate tedious tasks, allowing tourism businesses to respond rapidly to current events or trending topics with fresh video content or to quickly create short snippets from long-form videos.
Beyond traditional video, AI can generate animated videos, bringing historical narratives and cultural legends to life in captivating ways. For audio, AI can assist in creating immersive soundscapes for virtual tours or produce multilingual voiceovers for promotional materials.

Workflow

AI is streamlining internal workflows within tourism organisations, boosting efficiency and freeing up resources for more strategic initiatives.
AI is streamlining internal workflows within tourism organisations, boosting efficiency and freeing up resources for more strategic initiatives. This technology can assist with ideation and strategic development by analysing market trends and traveller data to identify new opportunities and potential challenges.
For project planning, AI can help optimise timelines, resource allocation and task management, while AI-driven workspace productivity tools can automate routine tasks, such as scheduling and communication, allowing teams to focus on more creative and complex work. In data analysis, AI algorithms can process vast amounts of qualitative and quantitative data, uncovering valuable insights that inform decision-making.

Industry-Specific Applications

AI-powered systems can analyse vast datasets, including historical trends, weather patterns and real-time transportation data, to predict and manage visitor flows.
AI-powered systems can analyse vast datasets, including historical trends, weather patterns and real-time transportation data, to predict and manage visitor flows, ensuring smoother experiences and minimising congestion at popular attractions.
Leveraging location data, AI can act as a geo-positioned tour guide, providing relevant information about nearby landmarks and suggesting tailored itineraries based on individual interests.
