Abstract

This paper discusses how artificial intelligence may revolutionize rural tourism in India, focusing on visitor experiences and sustainability. The conceptual paper presents an AI framework for rural tourism that emphasizes accessibility, personalization, and sustainability. Building an AI-powered rural tourism hub in India’s rural areas would solve problems and unleash latent potential. Rural landscapes, with their cultural diversity and stunning natural scenery, are ideal for this groundbreaking project. The framework addresses the need for rural community accessibility, giving poor areas more opportunities. AI-powered customized experiences let tourists fully experience local culture by going beyond tourist traps. Artificial intelligence for environmental monitoring, waste management, and community engagement is crucial. This will balance cultural and natural resources and prevent tourism from harming them. Governments, local communities, industries, academia, and NGOs must work together for this initiative to succeed. This collaborative approach seeks equal tourist benefits, technology that empowers local communities, and community-values-based policies. The conceptual framework considers technological constraints, social and cultural factors, and regulatory complexity. Expect environmental sustainability, cultural preservation, and economic growth. Environmentally friendly agriculture, tourism, and local worker training boost rural economies. Cultural preservation through tourism supports local artisans and community pride. Rural tourism’s eco-friendliness and waste management align with environmental preservation efforts. Finally, the theoretical framework envisions a future where technology empowers self-determination, rural India’s culture is preserved, and tourism benefits society. The abstract emphasizes the importance of collaboration, research, and flexibility to drive rural tourism innovation, which could change AI use in this field.
