Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic in recent months, with many debates and differing opinions on its benefits to society. At the same time, AI is being integrated into countless business processes and services, including within the travel industry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI for travel planning<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gone are the days of endless online scrolling, researching places to visit and activities for your upcoming trips. While AI can quickly generate travel itineraries, there are a few important points to remember before turning your AI-generated travel itinerary into reality.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Although AI can be a great tool, there is no substitution for customer service<\/strong> when it comes to human interaction. Travel agents can help customize trips to your specific preferences, using their experience and insider knowledge. For example, AI may suggest a resort with a waterpark when travelling with children. But, your travel agent will inform you of critical information<\/a>, like if the waterpark will be closed for renovations on your selected dates. 
     <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Travel agents provide support when you need it.<\/strong> If you need to cancel or reschedule your plans, or run into issues during your travel, having someone working and advocating on your behalf can be invaluable.    
       <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Access to consumer protection.<\/strong> By booking with a TICO registered travel agency or website, you\u2019re automatically entitled to TICO\u2019s consumer protection<\/a>, including a complaints process and a Compensation Fund. It\u2019s easy to verify if a company is registered with TICO by using this online search tool<\/a>.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        AI can bring convenience and efficiency to travel planning, but it\u2019s important to ensure you\u2019re making an informed purchase decision and have all the necessary details so that your trip is a success.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Book with a TICO Registered Travel Agency<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        To verify if a travel agency or website is TICO registered, check\u202four online directory<\/strong><\/a>.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Take the\u202fTICO Traveller Quiz<\/strong><\/a>\u202fto see what type of traveller you are.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Sign up to receive quarterly travel consumer protection email updates<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
