The forum also spotlighted Taiwan's local industry practices, spanning development experience for one-stop AI travel-planning apps, applications of shared-mobility technology, smart hotel management, strategies for online travel platforms, and travel e-commerce operations - highlighting the depth of energy across Taiwan's tourism technology sector.
Core Theme: AI Reshaping the Tourism Ecosystem
This year's forum centered on AI's comprehensive applications in tourism, including personalized itinerary planning, intelligent customer service, phygital experiences, and data-driven precision marketing.
