Travel is one of the obvious examples of how synthetic intelligence influences relationships with brands, specifically when it comes to the visitor experience.
When we electronically book a flight and a hotel, shouldn’t our personal tastes be pre-filled and we receive tips instantly?When you get off a plane, do you have to queue to pick up your rental car?Please do not tell me about the airport experience.
People compare it, rightly so, to visiting the DMV. On average, booking a trip electronically can take up to 16 hours, according to Priceline. Generation Z and Millennials are taking even longer.
Three disorders are at the center of today’s overcome experiences:
1. There is a lot of friction that does not want to be there. This is due to disparate reservation systems that don’t work well together, as well as inflexible processes based on existing technologies. These Internet sites and applications are based on old designs. of user experience: a rigid and unique technique for organizing tables, drop-down menus, and slightly workable search functions.
2. Images are outdated. The fact that discovery is boring is, in fact, astonishing in the age of Instagram. There is no story, no connection, nothing that triggers this emotional discovery. Traveling is an emotional experience. Providers will have to make you feel something, make you fantasize about all the wonderful things that are to come. Instead, you get frustrated when you’re asked to enter your common traveler number for the fourth time.
3. Traveling is not smart. Digital reports don’t know who you are and can’t anticipate what you need to do.
Technology can solve these three disorders. All that’s left to do is add creativity to solve old disorders with new interactions with visitors. Of course, AI will play an important role in this. And I’m not just talking about chatbots. Sure, they have a must-have tool that can eliminate some unwanted friction, but the upgrade will be much more drastic than that.
The emergence of generative AI means that traditional information architecture will become obsolete. Simply put, we will quickly move from prompting AI to AI prompting us. What could this look like? An experience that is designed for you based on your personal needs. It will differ from your friends’, neighbors’, and spouses’ experiences.
Think about a design that generates only illustrations and words, but also interfaces that are as simple, if not simpler, than the magic you feel with text chat.
Exceptional visitor service is based on anticipation, especially in space. The most productive hotels in the world know their unwavering visitors and will ensure they have the amenities they desire. After all, we are creatures of habit. It is not difficult to perceive it. who loves a spa date at the end of a vacation and prefers sparkling water to plain water.
AI can examine your behaviors, purchases, and further behaviors to anticipate your desires. You can then make suggestions that will save you time and energy and your possible options with visitor reviews.
It can also motivate you through the visual experience. Instantly, you can get personalized, engaging content that will make you feel the urge to hit that ski slope or across that serene lake. AI fills visual gaps that were traditionally costly to create. And it can offer those images based on your predisposed behavior. We have visual memories after a vacation; What if you could see what they would look like before you book?
The superpower of AI is to analyze knowledge, organize it and compile it in an undeniable way. Travel providers are a treasure trove of first-hand knowledge. They can use this knowledge to pre-populate boxes and drop-down menus and give you as many logical options as possible. The interface will be nearly invisible as you seamlessly make informed decisions, from inspiration to booking to travel to reliving and sharing those memories.
Of course, privacy and security will have to be and be at the center of the experience where compliance and controls are prioritized.
Ironically, it was AI that gave us the opportunity to make the experience more human. Working to create a more intuitive experience will really make us feel even better about Array. There are many utilities that can and will be improved. Soon, sites and apps will become destinations that we will actually need to visit.
This will make it much less difficult to offer services, excursion options, and member discounts. Everything will be there naturally and fluidly for the traveler to say yes.
On the other hand, if you are more likely to wait for your consumers to tell you what they want, you will most likely lose them to a competitor.
And keep in mind that AI will drive this fundamental upgrade across all industries, not just manufacturing.
