Many people return to leisure travel as pandemic restrictions loosen all over the world. According to a 2022 survey by travel and experiences platform Klook,expressed their eagerness to travel, whether to domestic or international destinations.
Within a couple of minutes, the app responds with a list of suggestions for transportation, accommodation, and activities within the chosen budget. “I myself like traveling. [But] I only have a very small budget and I also don’t know how to make itineraries and [find] the best places for my budget,” he said. “So I was thinking, since we’re doing the 30-by-30 challenge, what if I will do something with AI?”
He cited the app’s dropdown menu containing options for destination provinces. “That data, I actually copied that from ChatGPT. I just prompted: ‘Give me the best provinces or best islands in the Philippines to go to.’ And then, ChatGPT responded with all those options, and then I added those to the application.”
“[The app] calls ChatGPT and it prompts something like, ‘Give me an itinerary from Cebu to Siargao, and for the budget of 5,000,’” Ouano shared an example. “And then ChatGPT…lists all those itineraries within the chosen budget: the accommodation, the transportation and activities you can do.”
