As of March 26, 2025, AI and Machine Learning (ML) technologies are not just streamlining travel, but redefining the entire experience.
Personalized Travel Experiences: AI analyzes user behavior, past bookings, and social media activity to provide hyper-personalized recommendations. Travel platforms like Booking.com and Expedia use AI to offer customized itineraries tailored to individual preferences and budgets.
