Episode 19: The Trip Planner That Actually Books
AI can inspire a trip in seconds. Getting tourists to actually book those experiences has been a different story. In this episode, Liz Ward talks with Daniel Blickling and Dhruv Sharma from Traveloris, a B2B AI trip planner that does something most tourism tech has only promised: it generates personalised, locally-informed itineraries and handles live booking in the same session.
Topics covered:
- How the travel purchase cycle has shifted more in the past two years than in the previous 25
- What Traveloris is, how the widget works, and why the B2B model makes it low-risk for operators
- The three-year journey to crack live booking across 25+ booking channels
- A live demo of the Cairns Discovery Tours trip planner
- Why ChatGPT pulling back from travel fulfilment opens the door for specialist tools
- Practical advice for DMOs on turning high-intent LLM referral traffic into bookings
- What's coming next: accommodation booking and a chat analytics agent
- Tourism Tribe's AI Playbook and Pocket Rocket app for tourism operators
Daniel Blickling is the founder of Traveloris (previously Traveler AI), with a background in aerospace avionics engineering and head of innovation technology at British Airways. Dhruv Sharma is the product manager, previously a strategy consultant at Boston Consulting Group and product lead at Telstra.
