Examples:

1. Intelligent Trip Itineraries: Imagine a travel platform that analyses user reviews, forum discussions and blog posts about a specific destination. Using generative AI, it can create personalised itineraries that cater to your interests, budget and travel style. For instance, if you mention a love for historical exploration in a forum post, the itinerary could include lesser-known historical sites based on user recommendations, alongside popular landmarks.

‍

2. Dynamic Travel Companions: Generative AI can power chatbots or virtual travel companions that learn from user interactions and forum discussions. As you explore different travel options on a platform, the companion could provide real-time recommendations, drawing insights from user-generated content. For example, if you're unsure about a specific restaurant in a forum post, the companion could analyse user reviews and highlight the most popular dishes or suggest similar restaurants based on positive feedback.

‍

3. Customised Content Creation: Generative AI can craft personalised travel guides or blog summaries based on user preferences and forum discussions. Imagine a platform that analyses your forum activity to understand your preferred travel pace and budget. It could then generate a concise guide highlighting the most efficient ways to explore a destination based on user recommendations while staying within your budget.

‍

4. Multilingual Exploration: Generative AI can translate user-generated content in real-time, allowing you to access travel insights and recommendations from a wider global audience. This can be particularly helpful when exploring destinations with less common languages. Imagine reading a forum post in a different language about a hidden gem in a city. The platform could translate the post using generative AI, allowing you to learn about this location and potentially add it to your itinerary.

‍

5. Engaging Travel Inspiration: Struggling to decide where to go next? Generative AI can be used to create personalised travel inspiration feeds based on your past travel behaviour and user-generated content. It could analyse your forum discussions, identify recurring themes (e.g. love for beaches, historical sites) and curate a feed showcasing destinations with similar features based on positive user reviews and forum recommendations.

By analysing and utilising user-generated content, generative AI can transform travel platforms into personalised travel assistants, enriching the planning and exploration experience.
