A Chatbot to Enhance the Portuguese National Tourism Website
| Resumo: | The digital transformation of tourism in Portugal has led to the integration of AI-driven solutions to improve visitor engagement. This paper presents the development and implementation of a chatbot for the Portuguese national tourism website, VisitPortugal. The chatbot utilizes natural language processing to provide real-time, personalized assistance across multiple languages, including European languages (Portuguese, English, French, Spanish) and East Asian languages (Traditional Chinese), demonstrating robust cross-linguistic semantic understanding. The architecture incorporates a web crawler to collect and process tourism-related data, a vector database for efficient content retrieval, and GPT-4o Mini for generating contextually relevant responses. By filling gaps in tourism services, the chatbot improves the user experience, increases accessibility, and reinforces Portugal's position as a technologically advanced tourist destination. The results demonstrate high accuracy in the responses, reinforcing the effectiveness of the chatbot in facilitating seamless travel planning. |
