Hi AI Traveler,

If you’re new to the newsletter, welcome. If you’re a regular thank you for sticking with me ;-).

I hope you’re enjoying the newsletter. Remember to let me know if there is anything in particular you’d like me to cover. Just hit reply.

The Rise of Agentic AI Agents in Travel

You’ve probably heard of chatbots and travel assistants that answer questions—but things are getting way more advanced.

Meet agentic AI agents: proactive digital helpers that don’t just respond to commands—they think, plan, and act for you. It’s fun and also scary to watch these agents work.

In travel, agentic AI can autonomously:

• Monitor prices and reroute around delays,

• Recommend tailored itineraries based on your preferences,

• Rebook disrupted connections instantly, (this is not completely new as this is what airlines do today with coding)

• And create a reservation-style experience across flights, hotels, and even restaurants—all with minimal human input.

The result? A future where your AI serves as a true co-pilot—anticipating needs, optimizing on the fly, and freeing you to enjoy the journey.

And while Airbnb is aiming to become an “AI-first app” powered by these agents, travel pros are already leaning in too. Some advisors report a 40% business boost after adopting AI tools to streamline planning, stay efficient, and serve more clients.

You can do agentic work on ChatGPT 5 BTW.

Bottom line:

Agentic AI isn’t sci-fi—it’s quietly reshaping travel today. Your job? Figure out how to deploy it—or risk falling behind.

AI In Tourism

I missed this:

Visitors to newzealand.com are greeted with recommended prompts that address known knowledge gaps and barriers to booking such as "How long are flights to New Zealand?" and "Show me the best things to do each season." From there, visitors can converse with the AI, asking follow-up questions and exploring their specific interests. The personalized, real-time responses are generated by AI trained on extensive data from Tourism New Zealand, regional tourism organisations and tourism business operators from across the country, coupled with more than 1,000 integrations for travel information from GuideGeek's award-winning technology.

AI Tip
Optimize your daily travel workflow using AI and microservices.

Here’s a pro technique — use AI to mirror daily routing challenges like airlines and reservation systems do. For instance:

Why it works:

• Helps you see all angles of your trip in one view

• AI can mimic how systems actually decide—balancing multiple priorities

• You’ll get choices vs one locked-in option

Fun Fact

A study (of 2,000 respondents) by Talker Research shows that YouTube (34%) has overtaken family (30%) and friends (28%) as the top source of travel inspiration—with TikTok especially popular among Gen Z (52%). AI is powering much of that content, quietly steering trip dreams everywhere.
