Smart Destination Planning with ChatGPT

Abstract

This research focuses on a smart tourism destination plan created in line with the recommendations of ChatGPT. Within the framework of Conversation Theory, a mutual dialog was developed with ChatGPT to create a smart tourism destination plan. Within the scope of this dialog, 3 questions were asked to ChatGPT to create a smart tourism destination plan, examples and level. It is seen that ChatGPT has created a plan consisting of ten dimensions for Nevşehir destination. In this plan, ChatGPT emphasizes areas such as strengthening the digital infrastructure, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications, online ticketing systems and e-commerce integration in a more comprehensive manner. In addition to these dimensions, the ChatGPT smart tourism destination plan also emphasizes issues such as cultural heritage protection, community engagement, education, digital marketing and security. It is seen that ChatGPT includes many factors that are important for a destination's tourism activities within the scope of smart tourism. Finally, ChatGPT also creates a smart tourism destination level by adhering to the smart tourism destination plan.
