Dubai AI Festival 2025: Chris Ezekiel, Founder & CEO, Creative Virtual

Dubai, UAE – April 2025 — In a powerful move to revolutionize travel and hospitality services, Chris Ezekiel, Founder and CEO of Creative Virtual, announced the launch of World Concierge AI during the Dubai AI Festival. With over two decades of leadership in conversational AI, Creative Virtual is now setting its sights on a sector where customer experience is everything — and where technology is poised to make a monumental difference.

Introducing World Concierge AI: Personalized Travel Assistance Powered by AI

World Concierge AI is designed to transform the travel and hospitality sector, offering virtual concierge services for travel companies, hotels, airlines, and tourist boards.

Building on Creative Virtual’s global success with clients such as HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, and major Australian retailers like Coles and Meijer, the new initiative is focused on delivering AI-driven, brand-specific customer engagement — far beyond generic service.

Our mission is to help travel brands break away from the bland, samey experiences we often see today online,” Ezekiel explained. “We empower them to project their unique brand identity while elevating customer service to new heights.

Why Dubai? The Strategic Launchpad

Dubai’s dynamic AI and travel ecosystems made it the natural choice for the launch of World Concierge AI.

Dubai is a forward-looking region where AI innovation is embraced,” Ezekiel said. “With events like the Dubai AI Festival and the upcoming Arabian Travel Market, there’s no better place to introduce a technology that’s set to redefine travel experiences.

The strategic timing aligns World Concierge AI’s debut with the Arabian Travel Market — ensuring immediate exposure to the industry’s key players across airlines, hotels, and tourism authorities.

How AI Fits In: Human-Curated Intelligence Meets Machine Learning

World Concierge AI represents a blended model that combines human-curated content with the power of large language models and AI reasoning capabilities.

Rather than forcing clients to jump straight into full automation, Creative Virtual’s approach is flexible:

  • Companies can start without any AI involvement,
  • Gradually integrate partial AI features,
  • Or move toward full AI enablement — all at their own pace.

We let organizations define their own AI journey,” Ezekiel emphasized. “Whether they’re ready for generative AI or prefer a hybrid approach, our platform supports their growth step-by-step.

This strategy ensures companies aren’t overwhelmed by AI adoption and that their customer experiences evolve organically and effectively.

Elevating Customer Experience in Travel and Hospitality

Travel and hospitality are industries where customer experience is the ultimate differentiator. In a highly competitive market, brands must stand out — and World Concierge AI is built to help them do exactly that.

Through hyper-personalized engagement, efficient customer support, and seamless interaction across digital channels, World Concierge AI ensures that businesses can:

  • Enhance brand visibility and loyalty
  • Improve customer satisfaction rates
  • Optimize operational efficiencies without sacrificing quality

Conclusion: Defining the Next Era of Travel Experiences

With World Concierge AI, Chris Ezekiel and Creative Virtual are redefining what it means to deliver customer service in travel and hospitality.

By merging AI innovation with human intuition, and by allowing companies to customize their AI journey, World Concierge AI is setting a bold new standard — one that prioritizes brand individuality, customer experience, and technological excellence.
