This ten-hour "AI for Tourism" project teaches five common AI tools for finding venues, setting up and prompting an AI, working with tourism datasets, AI-assisted data analysis, and content creation with virtual assistants.
Story of People and Place
The project rests less on technological tools than on framing tourism destinations with clear identities that share the story of people and place. Research shows that visitors want authentic personal stories rather than conventional marketing initiatives.
Human-Centered AI Integration
AI's role in this course is confined to a supporting, analytical function—such as venue discovery, dataset interrogation, and content drafting—while the substantive value proposition remains human storytelling and community collaboration.
