Expedia adds new AI features to improve your travel planning. This way

I just returned from a 10 day vacation and can assure you that planning a trip is not easy. From deciding where to go, how to get there and what to do once you arrive, there are many moving parts that can complicate your arrangements.

That’s why sites like Expedia are there to help you through every step of the booking process. Now, Expedia is taking it a notch further – and using artificial intelligence (AI) to help you book your next trip.

In April, Expedia incorporated ChatGPT into its iOS app to enable conversational travel planning. Using this feature, users can get travel recommendations by simply asking open-ended questions to the chatbot.

Beginning next month, this conversational planning feature will also be coming to the Expedia Android app, along with some new features, including the ability to save recommended activities to Trip Planner.

According to Expedia, Trip Planner will have all your recommended activities in one place, making it easy for travelers to view their options. Later this summer, hotel recommendations with images, price ranges and reviews that have been made in conversations will also be saved in Trip Planner.

Users will be able to revisit previous conversations and continue them at any time, so that they can resume their travel-planning activities from where they left off. Once again, the feature will be coming later this summer.

Meanwhile, the Hotels.com app is getting a smart-shopping feature that allows users to get AI-powered recommendations based on a variety of factors, such as who is traveling, where and for how long For.
