The travel industry might be on the beginning cusp of another golden era of growth as demand for both leisure and business trips continues to rise. The increased volume and traffic creates new opportunities for revenue for both travel providers and travel agencies but one key obstacle has plagued the travel industry for decades, training and skills development. Maximizing each and every guest and client interaction is critical in a very competitive market place and can be the advantage that brands need to drive revenue and efficiencies within the operation. Recognizing the fast paced nature of the travel business, travel training must also be faster and more effective and the current technology landscape can deliver on those 2 requirements. hospit-AI-lity is a travel training platform that utilizes the latest AI frameworks to deliver a more engaging experience to trainees and existing workers that are developing their skills. By training travel workers faster and more effectively, they can contribute to the business at a much quicker pace while maximizing those precious guest and client interactions that positively impact revenue and productivity.

Structured Training for Better Results

The hospit-AI-lity platform uses a structured training format combined with dynamic elements that keep users engaged and focused on the content presented. The frameworks within the platform use static resources that can be updated and upgraded as needed and the included Base Training Package delivers basic and advanced communication skills and organizational habits with versions geared towards travel and accommodation workers and travel agents. Training objectives are mapped and laid out as quests which give WALT and the user the ability to ‘partner’ up to achieve set goals in a unique hierarchy. In addition to the use of Large Language Models, advanced Java Scripting will enable WALT to deliver ‘evaluation pitstops’ and knowledge checks to ensure material is understood and absorbed. WALT can also control the pace of learning to suit the trainees own style and speed. Training maps start with basic and foundational guest service and client skills such as communication skills, active listening techniques and organizational habits. Later quests cover deeper engagement techniques, probing skills and tension resolution for more advanced guest and client interactions. The Base Training Package is designed to be completed in 2 to 3 days with real time work starting on day one. Job and company specific content, skills and training can be added to the main resources library and integrated within the quest hierarchy.

Trainee & User Friendly Engagement

WALT interacts with trainees and workers on either smartphone or tablet mobile devices. Using a handheld gives greater access to content and captures more attention from the user, providing an ideal setting for learning and training content delivery. WALT uses a chat thread style display and can take user input through text typing or voice dictation, enabling the trainee to interact with their comfort level. Users can scroll through chats, replay previous videos, revisit past quests and training maps and ask questions directly to WALT through the interface. Large text and user friendly controls make navigating WALT and hospit-AI-lity easy for the new hire or trainee. After completing training content, users can still access WALT to ask questions and receive support during their onboarding period, usually 3 to 7 days. WALT’s interface was designed for interactivity and usability to ensure training content comprehension.

WALT 3.0 Coming Soon
