Future Vision: Acceptability of Artificial Intelligence Personalized Services in Winery Accommodation
ABSTRACT:
India, is one of the countries in the New World Wine region and is emerging into the wine market. The growth of the industry has been
growing at the rate of 30% annually in the last ten years [1][2]. According to [3] wine tourism would play a vital role in changing the trends
in wine marketing in India in the near future. In addition, the habit of customers in exploring about a product or service in the websites
before deciding on the purchase [4] urges the business to develop a website. The study was done in the context to wineries in Karnataka, the
southern state, which is one of the wine producing regions in the country. This study is an attempt to analyse the acceptability of Artificial
Intelligence Personalized Services in the customer perspective and the customer’s expectations toward winery website components as the
winery’s website can be an important tool used for promotion [6]. The data was collected with the help of the questionnaire and results
analysed with suitable statistical tools. The results prove that consumers are interested in wine tourism and more excited to experience
Artificial Intelligence Personalized Services and expect a Virtual Tour component in the winery website as it eases the consumer’s decision
making on planning a winery visit. This study suggests the wineries of Karnataka to move on to the next level of innovation by adapting
web 4.0 components in their respective wineries in order to be in the spotlight of innovation and develop brand awareness.
