AI in marketing for the HoReCa industry
training code: DM-PAI / HoReCa_ENG / EN
Artificial intelligence is becoming one of the key tools supporting marketing and sales in the HoReCa sector. Hotels, restaurants, and leisure facilities are increasingly using AI to create content, streamline guest service, generate offers, and automate communication. However, to use these tools effectively and responsibly, teams need a solid understanding of how AI works and how to apply it in everyday operations.
This dedicated training program for teams enables participants to explore both the possibilities and limitations of AI. They learn how to use tools for creating text, graphics, and video content, as well as how to implement AI in guest service and marketing processes. The workshop-based format is built around real-life HoReCa examples—participants work on their own brand materials and test tools live, step by step.
The training is designed for marketing and guest service teams in hotels, restaurants, and tourism facilities, in particular for:
-
marketing, sales, and communications specialists,
-
front desk and reservations staff,
-
hotel and leisure facility managers,
-
professionals responsible for social media and property promotion,
-
companies looking to integrate AI into their daily operations and streamline communication and operational processes.
The program is delivered as a closed, company-dedicated training. It is conducted for a minimum group of three participants from the same organization, enabling the team to work on real business cases and receive recommendations tailored to the specific needs and profile of their property.
