AI-generated travel itineraries are experiencing a huge boom on TikTok, with people turning to ChatGPT and Notion AI to do all the travel planning for them. It’s an appealing shortcut, but relying on artificial intelligence to do all the travel planning for you isn’t always effective, and here are a few things to keep in mind before going down that road.

Not the Only Source

There’s nothing wrong with using AI as an aid in travel planning, but it shouldn’t be the only resource you rely on. AI-generated searches can be unreliable and inaccurate, so make sure to cross-check all the information to keep your itinerary current and up to date.

Personal Touch

Even if you’re using all the right prompts, AI-generated travel itineraries will often lack personal touch. That’s why it’s important to do your own research and take your personal travel style, budget limitations, and specific interests into account when making travel plans.

Keep Your Mind Open

Travel itineraries, AI-generated or not, should never be followed blindly. Leave some room for spontaneity because you’ll miss out on many amazing local gems if you only listen to ChatGPT. Feel free to wander around, live in the moment, and ask locals for advice instead of relying on artificial intelligence alone.
