A Better Way to Use AI for Your Next Vacation
The debate between using AI to plan your trip or relying on human know-how is better reframed as “How can AI help me work with my travel advisor?” Use it to clarify vague vacation ideas and identify your priorities, then bring those ideas to me. I can add on-the-ground knowledge, personal recommendations, and practical guidance to turn them into a trip that’s right for you. Here are a few prompts to get you started.
Getting ready prompt: “I’m planning to work with a luxury travel advisor. Ask me a series of questions to help define my travel style, including what makes a trip feel successful, what I dislike, how I like to spend my days, how much structure I want, and what kind of hotels or experiences make me happiest. At the end, summarize my travel personality in a way I can share with my advisor.”
Identify trip wants prompt: “I’m not fully sure what I want in a vacation. Help me identify my top priorities for this trip by asking about pace, destination type, hotel style, food, activities, privacy, budget comfort, weather, travel time, and who is traveling. Then rank my top five priorities and explain any trade-offs I should be aware of.”
Defining trip purpose prompt: “I’m preparing for a call with my travel advisor about a trip. Help me clarify the purpose of the trip: why I’m going, what would make it feel successful, what memories I want to create, and what each traveler may need from the experience. Summarize this in a concise paragraph I can share with my advisor.”
