AI as a driver of innovation for tourism SMEs

The event will feature the presence of Tirso Maldonado, information technology expert and managing partner of Socialtec, who will guide attendees through the different sessions. With more than 25 years of experience in digital business, Maldonado will bring his strategic vision closer so that tourism companies can adapt to the new technological paradigm.
