Smart and Dynamic AI-Powered Travel Planning: A Machine Learning Approach for Personalized and Real-Time Itinerary Generation

Abstract

Travel planning is a complex and dynamic process influenced by multiple factors, including user preferences, real-time availability of flights and accommodations, weather conditions, and local attractions. Traditional itinerary planners lack adaptability, leading to suboptimal recommendations. This research presents an AI-powered travel planning system that leverages machine learning, real-time data aggregation, and predictive analytics to generate personalized itineraries. The system integrates Natural Language Processing for user interaction, collaborative filtering for recommendation refinement, and reinforcement learning for itinerary optimization. Real-time API integrations ensure accurate and up-to-date information retrieval. The proposed system is developed using the MERN stack with machine learning components implemented in TensorFlow and Scikit-learn. Experimental results demonstrate improved itinerary accuracy, reduced processing time, and higher user satisfaction. This study highlights the potential of AI-driven systems in enhancing travel experiences through intelligent, real-time decision-making.
