Groundbreaking Advancements in Tourism Crisis Management 🚀 We are thrilled to share groundbreaking research from our latest collaboration with a leading Italian #tourism and #hospitality company, enhancing our commitment to excellence and #innovation in independent hospitality. CogitaiLab recent study 𝘤𝘵-𝘉𝘌𝘙𝘛: 𝘓𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳-𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘻𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘴 𝘋𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 introduces a 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥, ct-BERT, adept at navigating the complex sentiment dynamics during crises. 📄 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭: The tourism sector's susceptibility to disruptions from pandemics, natural disasters, and political instabilities demands innovative solutions. Traditional forecasting falls short in capturing real-time sentiment shifts, often leading to suboptimal crisis response strategies. ct-BERT, built upon the robust frameworks of BERT and FinBERT, and inspired by models like CrudeBERT, is specifically fine-tuned with crisis-related tourism data. This approach ensures that ct-BERT not only understands but predicts changes in traveler sentiment, aiding in efficient decision-making for tourism boards and policymakers. 🔍 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 & 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Our analysis shows ct-BERT's superior performance in detecting nuanced sentiment changes, crucial for strategic crisis management and recovery. By integrating diverse data sources, including social media and governmental reports, ct-BERT offers unprecedented insights into the emotional pulse of travelers during turbulent times. 📧 We believe this pioneering research will set new benchmarks in tourism resilience strategies.

Travelers Are Taking Longer to Plan Trips, Despite Faster Tools to Book Them << AI may make it faster on the tools, but there is a good chance consumers don’t want it to be faster, even if they want a more efficient and less frustrating process. Great new research by Tourism Australia and Deloitte has this as the conclusion: "The trend toward increased research time reflects a more deliberate and empowered traveler who prioritizes control, trust, and value in their planning process."
