How AI Tools Are Misleading 90% of Travel Itineraries

frustrated using a computer

AI travel planning tools, once heralded as the next big leap in technology, are falling short of expectations. Despite the enthusiasm from tech giants and celebrities, recent research reveals significant issues with AI-generated travel itineraries, leaving travelers disillusioned and inconvenienced.

🔍 Major flaws in AI itineraries
A study by SEO Travel evaluated 100 AI-generated two-day itineraries for 10 popular destinations and found that 90 percent contained errors. These ranged from minor mistakes, such as recommending venues outside of opening hours (52 percent of itineraries), to more severe issues, including suggesting visits to permanently closed or non-existent places (24 percent of itineraries).

🤖 Misguided recommendations
One glaring example from the study highlighted Chat-GPT’s suggestion to visit “Antico Caffe Ponit” in Rome, a fictitious cafe. This blunder typifies the AI’s struggle to provide accurate and reliable information, often leading travelers on wild goose chases for non-existent attractions.

🗺️ Inefficient and illogical routing and schedules
Another significant issue is the inefficient itineraries that require unnecessary backtracking. In Berlin, for example, Chat-GPT suggested an hour-long detour for a meal, only to return to a spot near the starting point. Such illogical routes waste valuable travel time, making the itineraries impractical. AI-generated plans also suffer from unrealistic scheduling, packing too many activities into tight timeframes
