- More travelers are using AI tools, like ChatGPT, to plan their vacations, evidenced by a trip from Amy and Mark Adams to Italy.
- The Adams used AI to customize their itinerary and discover less well-known local attractions, including a private farm tour and cooking class.
- The University of South Florida reported that the use of AI for travel planning increased significantly from 2024 to 2025.
- Assistant Professor Seden Doğan from USF advises that AI can simplify travel planning but should be used as an assistant rather than a sole decision-maker.
- Doğan emphasizes the importance of verifying key trip details personally to enhance the traveling experience, despite AI’s capabilities.
- She advises users not to share sensitive personal information, such as addresses, credit card details, or phone numbers, with AI platforms.
