The Future of the Tourism Industry: Impacts of AI and Machine Learning
As a leading global destination, Australian tourism operators are at the forefront of enhancing visitor experiences through technology. From mobile boarding passes to personalised recommendations on travel booking sites, technology has already revolutionised the industry in the last decade. Further advancements in machine learning will also enable operators to predict when and where people choose to travel.
However, as new technologies overhaul industry, a new challenge is arising – an experience and skill deficient workforce. So how can we attract and ensure the next generation of workers are adequately prepared?
Join us as a panel of Queensland's leading tourism influencers delve into the anticipated impacts of AI and machine learning on the tourism industry, and how operators can overcome the skilled labour shortage.
The esteemed panel will include:
- Dr Pierre Benckendorff, Associate Professor in Tourism, UQ Business School
- Sarah Miller, Business Development Manager, Marriott Hotel Brisbane
- Michael Branagh, Group Executive Marketing, Tourism and Events Queensland
Moderator: Georgina Duncan, Executive Education Director (Acting), UQ Business School
