Initially, the AI Trip Planner’s chat functionality is being rolled out to Genius loyalty members in the US and is currently available only in English. Whether this feature will be expanded to other countries and languages remains unclear.
Utilizing AI for travel planning is not entirely new, as there are already apps like Roam Around or Wonderplan that offer similar capabilities to Booking’s AI Trip Planner. Booking.com suggests that the Trip Planner is just the beginning, hinting at potential future features that integrate AI even further.
Having started as a startup in Amsterdam, Netherlands, back in 1996, Booking.com has since evolved into one of the world’s largest digital travel companies, boasting a platform with over 28 million listed places. While the AI Trip Planner can assist you in navigating through this vast number of options, it’s worth noting that a chatbot may overlook certain unique experiences that only a human can recommend.
