The workshop series "AI and Digital Tools for Your Daily Hospitality Operations" kicked off successfully on September 30, 2026, in Wolkersdorf. More than 15 businesses took advantage of this free joint initiative offered by Haus der Digitalisierung, Niederösterreich Werbung, the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce, tourism destinations, and Wirtshauskultur Niederösterreich. The series aims to help hospitality businesses integrate artificial intelligence and digital tools into their daily operations in a simple, practical way.

AI expert Manuela Machner from KiNET.ai demonstrated applications for tasks such as reservations and bookings, digital time tracking, and guest communication, as well as content creation for websites, social media, and menus. The practical content and concrete use cases were very well received by the participants.

This workshop series continues the successful partnership in the field of "AI in Tourism." Through this joint initiative, current topics related to digitalization are being specifically tailored for the local hospitality industry and offered across Lower Austria.
