You can now explore the serene beaches of Alibaug, ancient caves of Ajanta and Ellora and the fascinating Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve – within minutes, from the comfort of your home. How? Well, Maharashtra Tourism has launched an AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot that will assist travellers with information on the state’s rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, cultural immersion, or a relaxing escape, the chatbot can guide you towards unique destinations, must-see attractions, and off-the-beaten-path experiences in Maharashrashtra. The AI assistant can also recommend accommodations in the selected vicinity, to the travellers.
Commenting on the initiative, Jayshree Bhoj, Secretary, Department of Tourism, said, “In Maharashtra, we treasure a tapestry of tourism treasures, from historical marvels to pristine beaches, all ingrained with our rich cultural heritage. As we stride towards 2024-2025 with aspirations of UNESCO recognition for 11 forts, we affirm our commitment to fostering tourism beyond mere travel.”
