Its director for tourism says human element is ‘irreplaceable’ 

Jamaica’s director for tourism, Donovan White, has emphasised the importance of the human touch in travel and tourism despite the rise in artificial intelligence (AI). 

Over the last decade, there has been a rapid advancement and increasing integration of artificial intelligence technology across various sectors including tourism. 

He spoke at Global Tourism Resilience Conference on a panel titled Harnessing, Generative Artificial Intelligence for Tourism Resilience.

He said: “Since its emergence, the tourism industry has utilised AI to improve features like customer experience, reduce costs, and streamline operations – and it has been transforming the industry.  

“However, the human element of travel is irreplaceable. Only humans can provide insights into particularities like the best time to visit a location for an excursion, who at the hotel mixes the best drinks or offers the best rates through personal contacts. AI cannot pick up on these complexities.” 

The panel featured several industry experts in AI and focused on the transformative impact of AI in fortifying the tourism sector against various challenges. 

It also looked at how AI technologies can be leveraged to enhance predictive analytics and automate customer service. 

White added: “Jamaica’s tourism is embracing these new AI technologies to make it easier to book and enjoy our destination.

“A recent development is that our AI-powered chatbot (Virtual Jamaica Travel Specialist) delivers 24hr customer assistance on Visit Jamaica.com and now converses in up to 10 languages. 

“Jamaica’s enviable 42% visitor repeat rate is however because of our warm and authentic hospitality by our people,” said Director of Tourism for Jamaica, Donovan White.
