In a monumental move for the travel and tourism sector, Weeva unveiled groundbreaking AI integration at ITB Berlin, the world’s leading travel trade show. This marks a significant leap forward for sustainability management, positioning Weeva as the first platform to integrate generative AI into its user experience.
Revolutionizing Sustainability at ITB Berlin
Weeva’s Chief Technology Officer, James Lever, took center stage at ITB Berlin’s eTravel Stage to demonstrate the platform’s new AI capabilities.
