Connected Itineraries: How Itinerary Assist AI Works with Tourplan
Imagine if agent quote requests were automatically built into an itinerary by AI and added to Tourplan. It would require deep AI knowledge to achieve it, but would undoubtedly improve the productivity of the Tourplan users in your team.
Tourplan is the most popular tourism booking system for many reasons, perhaps the biggest reason being that it provides such a robust and integrated core system for different tourism sectors. As a leader in Artificial Intelligence applications for Destination Management Companies, TourConnect AI has now extended our partnership with Tourplan to automate itinerary creation.
