In the context of the in-depth implimentation of the “Digital China” strategy, artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly become the core engine to drive the high-quality development of tourism. However, at present, the integration of AI and tourism still faces multiple challenges such as the absence of technical ethics, data security risks, and insufficient institutional guarantees, which need to be systematically sorted out and addressed. This paper focuses on the key issues of AI-empowered tourism industry, and systematically analyzes its path mechanism and practical problems in tourism product innovation, service reconstruction, and governance system upgrading. The findings are as follows: (1) AI technology reshapes the operating logic of the tourism industry, promotes the transformation of the industry from element-driven to intelligence-driven, and builds a “data-algorithm-service” loop; (2) As a new production factor, AI is deeply embedded in the function of tourism production, enabling labor enhancement, capital optimization and intelligently resource scheduling through technology; (3) AI drives the integration of culture and tourism into a new stage characterized by digitized resources, immersed experiences, personalized supply and intelligent decision-making, and giving rise to diverse integrated business formats; (4) AI helps build a “government-enterprise-community-tourists” collaborative governance network to promote the transformation of tourism destination governance into an intelligent ecosystem; (5) The risks and challenges in the development of AI are becoming increasingly prominent, and it is necessary to make multidimensional efforts from institutional construction, technical supervision, ethical governance and personnel training to build an inclusive, safe and fair technical governance system. This study helps to clarify the core logic of AI-driven tourism industry transformation, and provides theoretical support and policy suggestions for building a new tourism development model characterized by intelligent co-creation.
