The most prevalent use of AI in the travel industry is for chatbot apps, primarily in the form of virtual travel assistants. These apps improve service by supplementing the work of travel advisors, not replacing them. One featured app in the article, Sam (which is offered by Casto Travel via our parent company Flight Centre), provides travelers with quick, timely and personalized information so that their entire travel experience is elevated. As it matures, Sam will be able to anticipate needs in ways that would have been too time consuming for an advisor. Consumers and business are driving this transformation, a shift that is already improving the travel experience for many leisure and corporate travelers.
