## Article

On **November 10**, the **Marina Riverside Center at Casa de Campo Resort & Villas** in La Romana will host Funglode's **VI Global Forum @ Casa de Campo**, themed «The future of education: between artificial intelligence and new pedagogical trends». The event will bring together international specialists such as **Andreas Schleicher**, director of Education and Skills at the OECD, and will feature remarks from former president **Leonel Fernández** and Education minister **Luis Miguel De Camps**, as reported by [Listín Diario](https://listindiario.com/economia/industria/20261103/funglode-debatira-futuro-educacion-impacto-inteligencia-artificial_928550.html).

The forum will address the use of AI in personalized learning, new pedagogical methodologies, neuroscience contributions and the strengthening of skills such as critical thinking and technological literacy. It will also examine the ethical and social challenges of incorporating these tools into education systems, with emphasis on equity and keeping humans at the center of the process. For the Dominican tourism sector, this is not a distant debate: talent training is one of the bottlenecks most cited by hoteliers and tour operators in Punta Cana, Bávaro and Samaná, and AI's arrival in teaching redefines how receptionists, entertainers, guides and food and beverage staff will be trained in the coming years.

The choice of Casa de Campo, a resort that employs thousands of people in La Romana, is no accident. Tourism is one of the main generators of formal employment in provinces such as La Altagracia and La Romana, and any discussion about education and technology ends up impacting the pipeline of workers that sustains the industry. According to the forum's own framing, the conversation aims to identify innovative practices and contribute to education policies that respond to the needs of Latin America and the Caribbean, a framework in which the Dominican Republic can position itself as a regional reference if it connects the education agenda with the real demands of its main economic engine.

The reading is clear: AI applied to training does not replace the dive instructor or the resort sommelier, but it can accelerate language training, customer service simulation and personalized learning for young people joining the sector today without prior technical training. The approachable challenge is how Funglode, MITUR and hoteliers can sit down to translate these discussions into concrete dual training and skills certification programs in tourism destinations.

Two things are worth watching: whether the forum produces a concrete commitment to collaboration between the education and tourism sectors, and whether the discussion on AI in learning arrives with proposals applicable to the hotel technical training already taught in the country. The potential is on the table.
