Andhra Pradesh to Launch AI-Powered Platform for Tourism Across State
Andhra Pradesh plans to become India's first AI-powered tourism state by implementing the NiVU AI platform across over 100 tourist destinations. The initiative, supported by a three-year MoU between APTDC and Xplorer, aims to enhance visitor experiences by providing free, multilingual information via QR codes without requiring app downloads. The rollout will begin with 30 major sites in the first year and expand statewide within three years, following a successful pilot at Mangalagiri.
