Talking up travel industry ‘chatbots’
“We are on the verge of a big disruption in the travel industry,” says Marina Shumaieva, the chief technology officer of CruiseBe.com, which has its own Facebook bot that can offer information about cruise ships.“
Let’s hear it from women in travel
Marina Shumaieva, co-founder & CTO of CruiseBe.com, admits that being a woman in travel tech is “not an easy thing to do”. However, with patience, persistence and intuition she has managed to make a career of her two hobbies – travelling and programming.
It's official: the era of personalisation has arrived
Marina Shumaieva detailed how chatbots can benefit customer interaction. Chatbots are becoming more sophisticated with machine learning, allowing them to self-learn about customer preferences and respond accurately to questions in real time.
