Henry Coutinho-Mason, trend forecaster and author of The Future Normal, agrees: “Gen AI will mean that planning a trip will become more like a conversation, rather than the current drop down search filters, especially as voice inputs become common. But it will also transform the travel experience in more subtle, but equally welcome, ways. During the trip, real-time translation will make communication seamless; AI will step in and automatically navigate bureaucracy in the case of cancelled flights or lost luggage; after the trip, it will automatically create movies, similar to Apple’s Memories or Google’s Photo Stack today, but far more intelligently – adding animations, soundtracks, voice overs and cinematic effects.”
