The beaches are filling up, the offices are emptying, but technology isn’t taking a break. Better yet: it’s transforming our vacations.
We asked our product manager what this year’s summer tech trends are!
- Dynamic itineraries that adapt in real time
Planning a vacation itinerary can quickly become overwhelming: you want to see the must-sees, but you don’t want to end up in a packed crowd under the midday sun.
AI completely transforms this process by generating a live, flexible program. Instead of a rigid plan, it takes into account:
- the day’s weather,
- peak hours at tourist spots,
- your energy levels,
- and even your current mood.
You receive real-time suggestions as your day unfolds. If a storm is coming, it suggests indoor activities. If a local festival pops up, it works it into your route.
It’s like having a co-pilot that continuously adjusts the journey so you can explore more and stress less.
- Smart translation with social and cultural awareness
Beyond just translating words, modern AI understands the cultural and social context of a conversation. That means:
- it guides you on the right level of politeness,
- helps you catch subtle meaning or local humor,
- and highlights non-verbal cues (like personal space or gestures to avoid).
This kind of intelligent translation goes far beyond literal meaning — it enables true immersion.
You avoid misunderstandings, communicate more authentically, and show respect for local customs.
- Proactive budgeting: control your spending without the stress
Vacation budgeting can quickly turn into a headache. AI helps you relax by:
- accounting for your total budget,
- distributing it across transport, lodging, food, and activities,
- and adjusting forecasts based on your decisions as you go.
Spend a bit more at dinner? It recalculates the rest of the trip. Go over a limit? It flags it or suggests cheaper alternatives in real time.
This proactive budgeting means fewer surprises — and more freedom to enjoy.
- Smart hotel comparison, based on what actually matters to you
Searching for a hotel often means scrolling through endless listings filtered by stars, price, or promotions. AI takes personalization further by ranking options based on:
- how quiet the neighborhood is,
- proximity to transport or nature,
- trustworthy reviews (filtered for fake ones),
- and alignment with your travel style (family-friendly, minimalist, remote, etc.).
Instead of pushing deals, it curates truly relevant options that match how you want to travel.
