It is being touted that a large number of jobs in various industries will be replaced by AI in the near future, but I feel that there is no job that will survive as well as the tourism and hotel industries. Because humans must eat and sleep in order to survive. Furthermore, the gatherings of people at ceremonial occasions that have been held throughout the ages will never disappear, although their forms may change. The most important thing in communication between people is to respect the other person's values, be considerate of their position, and treat them with originality and humor. All of these things are important in the tourism and hotel industries. It is included. It is certain that smarter operations will continue to advance in all aspects of the tourism industry, but what remains in the end is communication between humans, and I don't think it will be replaced by AI any time soon. . To me, all of you who study at Faculty of Tourism represent the great hope of our country, which aims to become a tourism-oriented nation, and are the successors to whom we entrust our future. If you are majoring in tourism and want to make your life shine in this industry, we will provide you with maximum support so that you can have even more aspirations, dreams, and fulfillment in your future, and that you can play an active role while demonstrating leadership. I will do it.
