This yearโ€™s theme, โ€œDigital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism,โ€ invites us to look at how technology is changing the way we work, connect with visitors and deliver experiences. As UN Tourism has emphasised, technology and artificial intelligence must serve people first, with innovation supported by education, skills development and responsible adoption. For an industry built on people and personal connections, embracing these changes will require us to find the right balance between innovation and the warmth of Saint Lucian hospitality.
