Chatbots in the tourism industry
Even a pleasant sector like the travel industry may have elements of frustration for end users: long waiting times, inaccessible customer support, complex documents and visa requirements, lack of information and real-time updates.
The use of artificial intelligence in tourism is not limited to the concierge robot employment for an impactful reception in hotels, but is positioned as a valuable assistance and communication channel, capable of optimizing the user experience and service costs of hotels, airlines, shipping and cruise companies, on the one hand, OLTA (on line travel agency), car, train and bus transport services, on the other.
For example: Uber and Lyft are using chatbots to make it easier for you to book a cab service. KLM employs virtual assistants to answer thousands of questions and has integrated the service into its customer relationship management tool to improve customer satisfaction. Entri.io, is a platform that reduces the visa application process to minutes by providing a chatbot-driven visa application travel documentation platform.
