AI trip planning tools are having a moment and the conversation in most industries has settled into two camps: "AI will replace us", or "AI is just a tool".
I think travel is more interesting than that and I believe the real question isn't whether AI can plan a trip. It clearly can, to a point. The question is what it can't do.
AI can't read a client who says they want adventure but actually needs comfort. It can't call in a favour with a property that's technically full. It can't sit across from someone and understand that this trip is really about a family reconciliation, or a milestone they haven't told anyone about yet.
Luxury travel has always been about the human behind the itinerary. I don't think that changes.
But I'm curious whether advisors are finding that clients (who may be using AI) are arriving better informed, more demanding, or somewhere more complicated than either?
