Panelisti: Iva Kegalj - CEO Litto Agency, Marko Mišulić - CEO Rentlio, Ines Kovačić - CEO Green Stay Croatia, Matija Marijan - CEO Turneo
Ovaj panel istražuje revolucionarne tehnološke inovacije koje će oblikovati budućnost turizma te razmatra kako će digitalne transformacije utjecati na način na koji putnici istražuju, rezerviraju i doživljavaju svoja putovanja. Kroz analizu trendova, primjera iz prakse i predviđanja stručnjaka iz branše, raspravit ćemo o tome kako će tehnologija promijeniti turističku industriju i prilagoditi se potrebama suvremenih putnika.
1. Personalizacija iskustva putovanja: Kako će tehnologija omogućiti putnicima personalizirane preporuke, itinerare i doživljaje temeljene na njihovim preferencijama i interesima.
2. Uloga VR i AR tehnologija u stvaranju realističnih i imerzivnih destinacijskih doživljaja te promociji putovanja.
3. Potencijal blockchaina za osiguranje sigurnosti, transparentnosti i pojednostavljenje procesa rezervacije, plaćanja i upravljanja putovanjima.
4. Pametni gradovi i destinacije: Kako će IoT (Internet of Things) tehnologija transformirati destinacije u pametne, interaktivne okoline prilagođene potrebama turista.
5. Umjetna inteligencija u turizmu: Primjena AI za personaliziranu korisničku podršku, analizu podataka, prilagodbu marketinških strategija te unaprijeđenje operativne učinkovitosti.
6. Mobilne aplikacije i digitalni doživljaji: Razvoj mobilnih aplikacija, digitalnih platformi i virtualnih vodiča koji olakšavaju putovanja i poboljšavaju iskustvo putnika.
7. Održivost i odgovornost: Kako će tehnologija podržati održive prakse u turizmu, smanjiti negativne utjecaje na okoliš i potaknuti odgovorno ponašanje putnika.

Ovaj panel pruža priliku za dubinsku analizu i razmjenu perspektiva o tome kako tehnološke inovacije oblikuju budućnost turizma te kako se industrija može prilagoditi i iskoristiti sve prednosti koje tehnologija donosi.

Predavanje - Duje Tomaš, koordinator Green Destinations Business Certification programa, Tourism Lab - "Održivi razvoj destinacija na primjeru Green Destinations modela"

Duje Tomaš

Green Destinations je organizacija, čiji je glavni cilj unaprijediti održivi razvoj destinacija i promovirati njihovu prepoznatljivost na globalnoj razini. Osim programa certificiranja turističkih destinacija, Green Destinations diljem svijeta provodi program certificiranja dionika u turizmu. Model prema kojem Green Destinations unaprjeđuje i valorizira održivost turističkih destinacija i pružatelja usluga u turizmu trenutno je najsnažniji operativni alat koji postoji za održivo upravljanje, a ima snažnu podršku Ujedinjenih naroda i Globalnog vijeća za održivi turizam.
Radi se o najsveobuhvatnijem procesu certificiranja održivosti u
svijetu, koji obuhvaća četiri sastavnice održivog razvoja –
društvenu, okolišnu, ekonomsku i kulturnu. U sklopu ovog predavanja
govorit će se o Green Destinations programima, upravljanju
destinacijama prema načelima održivog razvoja, ulozi koju u tom
procesu imaju pojedine skupine dionika u destinaciji, praksama
upravljanja koje vode prema održivosti, te razlozima zašto i kako destinacije i dionici mogu dobiti certifikat održivosti.

PANEL 2 – "Održivost destinacija - više od ekološke osviještenosti"

Mnogi održivost destinacija izjednačavaju s ekološkom
osviještenošću, koja je samo jedan od četiri pilara održivog
razvoja. Naime, održivi razvoj, osim okolišnog, podrazumijeva
društveni, ekonomski i kulturni pilar. Sve je više hrvatskih
destinacija koje poštuju sva načela održivog razvoja, o čemu
svjedoče svjetska priznanja koja im je dodijelio Green Destinations.
O iskustvima sudjelovanja ili motiviranosti za sudjelovanje u Green
Destinations programima, ostvarenim rezultatima, ali i ono još
važnije - održivim praksama koje žive u svojim destinacijama,
govorit će predstavnici nekoliko turističkih destinacija i
predstavnik Tourism Laba, službenog zastupnika Green Destinationsa u
Hrvatskoj.
