Yesterday’s Tourism Summit Aotearoa at Tākina Wellington lived up to its theme of Ready or Not, with a focus on AI, robotics and other technology.

Various speakers encouraged about 300 delegates to 'dip their toes’ into AI tools like Chat GPT if they have not already done so.

“The only wrong move now is no move,” says Alex Dykman, fonder of Maverick Digital.

The summit started with a presentation by Tourism Industry Aotearoa chief executive Rebecca Ingram on the Tourism Industry Strategy 2050 and also had a session with Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran on reinventing the travel experience.
