Although planning a trip brings excitement and makes you feel giddy, it can also cause unnecessary stress. Long list of things to tick off, from booking a comfortable accommodation to making sure you’re seeing everything in one trip. Luckily, AI brings fresh air to travelers who hate planning. Whether you are a solo traveler or thinking about traveling in a group, using AI prompts for travel planning can be life-changing.
Our JoinMyTrip community, or even I, is no stranger to travel planning. But when AI took the world by storm, we seized the opportunity to make travel planning hassle-free. So, here are some of our favorite prompts that will make planning more fun.
Decide on a Travel Destination that Fits Your Preferences
At the top of our minds, choosing a destination seems like the easiest thing to do. We have a list of dream destinations, even mapping them out into calendars. However, feeling torn with choosing which destination fits us is a thing. Our preferences, travel goals, experiences we seek, to vibes we’re looking for matter.
Here are some things you can consider to put into the prompt:
- Budget
- Continent or area (e.g. Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia)
- Travel type (e.g. backpacking, luxury travel)
- Period of travel
- Desired activities
