Presented as a revolutionary tool in many ways in the practical management of life, notably for planning a trip and enabling more personalized accommodation reservations or destination searches, artificial intelligence is already used by a majority of travelers in the world (73%).
Here's how AI is useful for travel planning
Predict the price of a flight as precisely as possible for a future period — as the Hopper app claims, plotting a route according to your preferences — which is the idea behind the Routeperfect app, recognizing a historical monument by scanning it using your smartphone and the Blippar app, or find a hotel whose beds are perfect for your body shape and sleep preferences. The world of travel uses artificial intelligence to serve various purposes. And the biggest companies are paying special attention to this revolutionary technology; for example, last year Reservation launched a travel planner developed using machine learning models. Partly powered by ChatGPT, this tool offers destination and accommodation suggestions.
In the tourism industry, AI is primarily used to personalize the experience of travelers from the moment they start planning their future getaway. This is an opinion shared by 28% of people surveyed worldwide by the eDreams Odigeo booking platform.* Artificial intelligence solutions are sometimes so intrinsic to tourism operator platforms that 50% of travelers do not always notice that a site or application uses AI. .
Considered a potential threat for many professions, including in tourism, such as travel agents, AI nevertheless appears to be an asset from the point of view of tourists. No less than 73% of travelers around the world already use applications or relay platforms that use AI to improve their travel experience. And although a higher proportion of younger travelers use it (86%), among those over 65, around 43% already use it. Both of these numbers will certainly increase over time.
