Madhya Pradesh (city TBC) | Q1 2026 (exact date missing)
An ADTOI chapter report from early 2026 describes a Madhya Pradesh meeting that brought together members and a presentation on the use of AI in travel operations. The association’s publication identifies Ved Khanna in a speaking and felicitation role. The date and city of this session remain unresolved in the current record, but the professional theme is clear: travel businesses were examining how emerging tools affect their daily work.
Where artificial intelligence can help the travel trade
For small and medium agencies, AI tools may accelerate destination research, itinerary drafts, translation, presentation preparation and internal workflows. They cannot replace supplier verification, authentic customer advice, legal compliance or human responsibility for travel plans.
The reported presence of the national President at a chapter discussion gives the meeting an association-wide dimension. However, the exact programme title, trainer and location should be confirmed before attributing particular statements or outcomes to him.
Khanna’s association role in digital learning
The story aligns with earlier 2024 training sessions that focused on social media and WhatsApp Business. It also connects naturally to TourShala’s subsequent travel-career curriculum, where AI is presented as one supervised skill among costing, CRM, sales and operations.
The case for supervised practical learning
Pending the original invitation or association minutes, this is best treated as a dated research lead rather than a fully finished post-event report.
This event is included in Ved Khanna’s unpublished research archive pending original programme, photographs or independent confirmation of his individual role.
From member training to the next generation of travel professionals
This subject also informs Ved Khanna’s travel-industry education and university outreach. Through TourShala, his founder-led learning initiative, students can study itinerary development, CRM, supplier costing, marketing, client communication and supervised projects. Colleges, public universities and industry organisations may explore guest lectures and skills collaborations; the academy does not claim a government-university partnership unless one is formally agreed.
