Sabah Tourism Board Urges Local Players to Embrace AI and Drone Tech at Upcoming Conference
Sabah Tourism Board Chairman, Datuk Joniston Bangkuai, has called on local tourism players to support the upcoming Sabah Chinese Economic Conference, which will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and drone technology. As the event draws near, the chairman believes it presents an excellent opportunity for the tourism industry to embrace cutting-edge technology that holds immense promise for the state’s tourism sector.
At a meeting with the Sabah Chinese Economic Conference organizing committee, Bangkuai was briefed on the event’s objective of exploring emerging technologies that have the potential to revolutionize businesses and government agencies. The committee highlighted the various applications of drones, including their use in search and rescue operations.
The conference is scheduled to take place on August 23 at the Sabah International Convention Centre. It aims to provide an avenue for industry players to stay updated on the latest trends in AI and drone technology, ultimately equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance their businesses and meet consumer demands.
By embracing AI, tourism players in Sabah can streamline their operations, improve customer experiences, and gain a competitive edge in the industry. From chatbots and personalized recommendations to intelligent pricing strategies, AI has the potential to transform every aspect of the tourism sector. Additionally, drones can be used to capture stunning aerial footage of Sabah’s breathtaking landscapes, providing a unique and immersive perspective for visitors.
Furthermore, drones can play a crucial role in search and rescue missions, especially in Sabah’s dense forests and remote terrains. Their agility and ability to access hard-to-reach areas can significantly contribute to the success of such operations, potentially saving lives and reducing response times.
To fully leverage the advantages of AI and drones, it is crucial for local tourism players to participate in conferences and events like the Sabah Chinese Economic Conference. These platforms enable industry stakeholders to interact with experts, learn from successful case studies, and foster collaborations that drive innovation and growth.
By remaining open to embracing technology, Sabah’s tourism industry can benefit from increased efficiencies, enhanced visitor experiences, and sustainable growth. The integration of AI and drones has the potential to position Sabah as a leading destination, attracting travelers who seek unique and tech-forward experiences.
With the upcoming conference serving as a catalyst for change, the Sabah Tourism Board hopes that local players will wholeheartedly embrace AI and drone technology. By doing so, they can unlock new opportunities, create memorable experiences for tourists, and contribute to the continued development and success of Sabah’s tourism industry.
