LONDON, June 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When looking specifically at major OTAs, through their apps, users can instantly: book hotels or flights, create personalized itineraries, read up on information about a destination before arrival, look for things to do during a trip, manage their bookings, converse with property hosts, store important documents, contact customer service, receive exclusive app-based discounts, and share experiences with fellow travelers. Only a decade ago, creating personalized itineraries and looking for things to do during a trip would take a considerable amount of time. Now through apps using advanced forms of technology such as AI (artificial intelligence), travelers can receive personal recommendations on things to do and see during their trip, which have been learned from previous searches on the app, then recommendations can be accepted and added to personalized itineraries.
