| Summary: | This article analyzes the application of artificial intelligence in the tourism sector in Lithuania, Latvia, and Sweden. This paper aims (1) to identify the benefits of AI-based digital tools for the operations of tourism organizations, and (2) to identify the challenges in using AI-based digital tools in tourism organizations. An analysis of scientific literature has been carried out and the primary data have been obtained from 17 semi-structured interviews conducted in tourism enterprises of three countries. The survey sampling method used is criterion sampling. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, applying a conventional approach to content analysis using an inductive coding process. The main benefits of AI-based digital tools for tourism organization activities are personalization of services, automation and increased operational efficiency of tourism organization activities, etc. Tourism organizations implementing or already using artificial intelligence in their activities are usually faced with the challenge of ensuring data privacy and security, the high costs of implementing artificial intelligence systems, etc. |
