The distinguished strategic consultant Nikos Lygeros spoke about the smart adaptation solutions, prospects and new data that Artificial Intelligence can offer for strategic planning in tourism, since it processes huge amounts of data in real time, thus improving the promotion, visibility and offer of our tourism product, during the lecture on "Strategic Tourism and Artificial Intelligence" that was recently held at the packed Ayia Napa Municipality Cultural Center "George Seferis".
In his greeting, Mayor Christos Zannetou stated that at a time when tourism is one of the pillars of development for our region, innovation and technology are the catalysts that can strengthen and develop it. Therefore, he added, "Mr. Nikos Lygeros, with his rich experience and expertise, is the ideal person to guide us in this new era of tourism, where technology and strategy meet human experience and creativity."
"We firmly believe that strategic tourism is the key to the development of our country, and artificial intelligence is a tool that can revolutionize how we manage, promote and develop our tourist destination."
"Our tourism strategy," he continued, "is not limited to traditional promotion methods, but also incorporates modern technology, creating new opportunities and development potential. The cooperation of all stakeholders, institutions, entrepreneurs and citizens, is essential for the success of this new strategy."
