Creator's Key Takeaways
It is difficult to find a real use case in the B2B environment given that the cruise industry itself is still very very much reliant on the travel agent
the biggest difficulty for companies engineering AI solutions will be to secure the data so that AI models don't be trained on them
there's not a really good solution already in the market implemented. So that cruises are bookable online and also from what I heard is that travel agents still work very much on the phone
Actually in the overall tourism industry, I think it lacks a little bit of innovation. You see a lot of travel technology solutions that's around the same topic.
