You are finally there, ready to plan and book that dream holiday, that destination you always wanted to travel to. You finally have the time, the resources, and the willingness to do it. The right time of the year is approaching, so you make a start.
Or so you thought...
Planning and booking a trip can take many forms depending on who you are. If you are anything like me, it is always chaotic! Check flights, logistics, weather at that time of the year, vaccinations (yes, you still have to check!) Halfway through your research you read great reviews of what to do in your destination. Then you work backwards on how to fit it in the schedule. Check flights and hotels again. What about food? For a foodie fan like me, this is critical! Another search for F&B recommendations. Friends that have been there also have great suggestions. Now what about the attractions, museums, experiences that you must do when you are there, and why! Is this all children friendly? and it goes on....
Does it sound familiar?
Research shows that the average trip takes over 50 google searches, 150 days to organise and over 700+ touchpoints! (*) So it wasn’t just me…!
These days, with the overwhelming choice at your fingertips to plan and book for anything, travel is no different. In fact, perhaps even more! There are too many platforms and too many ways to book a trip, book hotels, book flights, book restaurants, and so on.
Now, what if an AI-powered app could help you ease the hassle?
What if your profile, the type of trip you are planning, who you are traveling with and what are your interests were all fed into an app that recommends and prepares a full itinerary, tailored for you?
And what if the itinerary was localized, accounting for travel times between activities? And the itinerary was in-easy-to-share format that so you could send it (by email, calendar invite, WhatsApp) to everyone you wished?
Oh man, you had me at “hello”!!
