The integration of anthropomorphic robots in hospitality and tourism is revolutionizing service experiences by blending human-like interaction with advanced technology. These robots enhance efficiency, personalization, and emotional engagement, creating a new form of human–machine synergy that reshapes guest expectations and operational models. By mimicking human behaviors, expressions, and communication styles, they bridge the gap between automation and empathy, offering seamless, consistent, and memorable experiences. This transformation not only redefines service delivery but also opens avenues for sustainable innovation and workforce collaboration in the evolving landscape of smart tourism.
