Six ways Gen AI will change the way we travel in 2024
Gen AI hasn’t set the world on fire yet, but there's a lot of possibilities coming
According to Rafat Ali, co-founder of Skift, the promise of AI is, if you are a logged-in user on a platform that knows your history, how you travel and what you've previously booked, then the matching of the right type of results seems to be a lot more promising.

- Custom itineraries: Putting together an itinerary can take hours of cross-referencing and planning but Tripadvisor’s new ChatGPT integration can do it in seconds;
- Curated inspiration: Closing the gap between inspiration and reservations, Booking.com's new ChatGPT-powered AI Trip Planner generates a visual list properties and prices based on whatever parameters you want to provide (such as near the sea or in a place that’s not too touristy), with deep-links to view the hotels in more detail.
