Overview
Since the early 2000s, planning travel have always been a long and tiresome process. Travelers rely on a range of resources from online blogs to guidebooks to online travel aggregator such as, Trip Advisor to friends they may know. Unfortunately, there is no optimal solution. Every traveler comes with their own unique set of needs: budget, companions, accessibility, type of travel , just to name a few.
This is where personalized travel agencies have provided a valuable proposition. Unfortunately, travel agencies often are more expensive than booking directly. Even discounting the price point, travel agencies certainly cannot take into account every factor and needs of a traveler. With the recent advent of AI, there is a case to be made for AI to provide the same personalization as travel agencies, while being cheap, cost effective and scalable.
Problems
- Fundamentally, all travelers have a range of different needs and wants that aren't always met with existing solution on the market.
- Planning travel requires hours of planning across multiple different sources.
- Hiring travel agencies can be expensive and pricing isn't always transparent.
- There a range of unique travel ideas that don't get featured online or guides that travelers may enjoy.
Proposed Solutions
- An AI-powered based on a database of millions of travel recommendations, ratings and other data points.
- An easy to use app that allows travelers to easily add attractions and automatically create a itinerary.
