How does AI personalise travel?

AI systems learn travellers’ preferences from search and booking data and suggest destinations, hotels and activities tailored to interests and budget.

What should I consider when applying AI in travel marketing?

Consider cultural nuances, local languages, sustainability and privacy; avoid generic recommendations and ensure human oversight.
