Personalised itineraries and quotations

The problem
Agents rebuild similar itineraries and quotes from scratch.
How AI helps
A model builds a draft itinerary from preferences and budget, pulls rates from your price list and prepares the quote document.
Start with
Language model, rate sheets, quote template.
Guardrails
Confirm availability and prices with suppliers before sending.
Full details

Example in practice

A family wants five days in Rajasthan in December within a budget. The assistant drafts a day-wise plan, picks hotels from the rate sheet and prepares the quote for the agent to confirm.

How it works

  1. Load supplier rates, sample itineraries and policies.
  2. Collect traveller preferences and budget.
  3. Generate a day-wise plan and priced quote.
  4. The agent confirms availability and sends.

Data you need

Rate sheets, itinerary library, policies and traveller preferences.

Measure success

  • Quote turnaround time
  • Quote-to-booking rate
  • Corrections needed
  • Agent hours per quote

Indicative rollout

Days 1-3: pick one process and collect 20-30 real samples. Week 1: test with an approved AI assistant and compare with the manual result. Week 2: write the checklist and review step, then use it on live work. Timing is indicative and depends on your data and systems.

Data handling

Use approved tools only, keep personal and confidential data protected as required by law (for example the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 in India), and keep a person responsible for every decision that affects people.

Handling delays and cancellations

The problem
Disruptions flood the support desk all at once.
How AI helps
An assistant notifies affected travellers, proposes alternatives and escalates special cases to agents.
Start with
Messaging channel, booking system, language model.
Guardrails
An agent approves refunds and rebooking beyond policy.
Full details

Example in practice

A flight cancellation notice triggers messages to 80 affected travellers with options. Those who choose rebooking are handled automatically and complex cases go to agents.

How it works

  1. Connect booking data to the notification channel.
  2. Define policy rules for alternatives and refunds.
  3. Notify travellers and collect their choice.
  4. Escalate exceptions to agents with the context.

Data you need

Booking records, disruption feeds and rebooking and refund rules.

Measure success

  • Time to notify
  • Calls handled by agents
  • Travellers rebooked without help
  • Complaints

Indicative rollout

Weeks 1-2: define scope, collect data and agree success measures. Weeks 3-6: build and run in parallel with the current process. Weeks 7-8: review accuracy and effort saved, then decide whether to scale. Timing is indicative and depends on your data and systems.

Data handling

Use approved tools only, keep personal and confidential data protected as required by law (for example the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 in India), and keep a person responsible for every decision that affects people.
