Show Notes
Curiosity: "If I had known back then that being curious would lead me to a career in AI and tourism innovation, I would’ve asked a lot more questions!" Dan Flores, Satisfi Labs
Parable:Think of tourism as a river. If you stop paddling, you might float for a while, but eventually, the current will pull you in directions you don’t want to go. Curiosity is your paddle. It keeps you exploring new waters, finding smoother routes, and avoiding obstacles. Without it, you’re stuck, moving only where the current takes you.
Principle:In leisure and tourism, curiosity and an open mind aren’t just beneficial—they’re necessary. With the rise of new technology, especially AI, those who stay curious and continuously explore new tools will not only survive but thrive. It’s about constantly asking: "Is there a better way to do this?" and never getting too comfortable with "good enough."
Transition:That’s why now, more than ever, staying open to new ideas is vital. Whether it’s AI, customer engagement strategies, or operational efficiency, those who embrace curiosity will be the ones who stay ahead. The biggest challenge holding back many tourism businesses is the belief that they already know what works, and they’re hesitant to explore new opportunities—like AI—to improve efficiency and customer experience.
Call to Action:So, if you’ve been feeling stuck in the old ways of doing things and want to see how embracing curiosity can lead to better outcomes, Reach out to Dan!
