Artificial Intelligence in Hospitality Industry

The theme of the congress for 63rd EUHOFA CONGRESS in Belgium organised by Hotelschool Ghent and Spermalie Brugges was ‘Artificial Intelligence in the Hospitality Industry’ and its impact on the future of hospitality education.

International top speakers shared recent (academic) insights, and there were numerous practical and interactive workshops, roundtable discussions, panel debates, curriculum development sessions, and networking opportunities with partners from both the education sector and the business world.

In short: an internationally relevant congress for every director and policy officer of hotel and/or tourism schools worldwide.
