Cape Town Launches First AI in Tourism Hub to Drive Innovation and Ethical Use
Cape Town Tourism has launched Africa’s first AI in Tourism Hub, a collaborative platform aimed at promoting the ethical and innovative use of artificial intelligence within the tourism sector. Announced on 29 August 2025, the initiative brings together stakeholders from the tourism industry, government, academics, and tech companies to explore AI-driven solutions across marketing, visitor safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency.
Founding members of the hub include representatives from Cape Town Tourism, Google South Africa, the Western Cape Government, and international AI experts. The initiative forms part of the city’s broader digital transformation strategy and aims to position Cape Town as a global leader in responsible AI adoption in tourism. Structured around working groups and regular knowledge-sharing sessions, the hub will also support practical toolkits and best practice sharing for sustainable tourism innovation.
