Travel agencies in South Korea are increasingly integrating AI technology to enhance travel recommendations, customer experiences, and operational efficiency. Companies like HanaTour are employing AI assistants to provide personalized travel schedules, while others, such as ModeTour, use AI for customer review monitoring and passport data automation. Despite these advances, the traditional personalized touch by human agents remains unmatched as current AI implementations struggle with tailoring itineraries to specific traveller preferences and managing complex queries. This indicates that while AI is prevalent, its deployment still relies heavily on basic tasks, lacking the comprehensive emotional understanding required for superior customer service. The global competitiveness of Korean travel agencies is partly hindered by an over-reliance on external solutions instead of developing proprietary AI technologies.
