The travel industry has irrevocably entered into the era of AI. Artificial intelligence will be driving unprecedented change in tourism and hospitality, of the scale we have not seen in the last decade.

Meta recently reported that it has 3.96 billion monthly active users of its core products, which includes Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram. Meta also reported that more than one billion Facebook users reach out to businesses using Messenger on a weekly basis. And according to a recent survey 64% of travelers either have used or plan to use AI to assist with travel. That number jumps to 75% for business travelers.

WIWT will be at the forefront of this seismic shift revolutionizing the way travel and hotels are booked.

WIWT has launched an OpenAI-powered travel assistant, accessible on all of your favorite apps. Directly on WhatsApp you can ask our virtual travel advisor for tips on what to do, where to go, and where to stay.

It’s like having your personal travel agent right in your pocket. You can plan and research trips, ask for instant advice while at your destination. WIWT aids travelers all over the world, in over 45 languages, to find accommodations and restaurants, customize itineraries, learn about local experiences and tours, and much more.

Social media is how people get inspired these days, but planning trips to places you see on Instagram can be tedious. By integrating WIWT with popular social media channels, millions more people will now get detailed information about the places they want to go without leaving the platform they love so much.

Unlike other travel tools that require users to register and download a new app, travelers directly message with WIWT on the platforms that already have billions of users. Travel influencers have described it as an “indispensable tool for globetrotters worldwide” that’s like having a trusted “friend who is a local” and knows everything about your destination.

Because it’s powered by a proprietary content platform, WIWT pulls in additional travel integrations beyond ChatGPT’s baseline, including live flight data from 1,000 OTAs and airline websites, as well as the best vacation rentals in major cities around the world. WIWT also adds the human touch by monitoring chats to train the AI and curating content from city guides, blogs, social channels, and travel videos.

What makes WIWT stand out among competing travel chatbots is its accessibility. Instead of having to download a new app, travelers can message WIWT via WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, making it a useful tool not just in the travel planning and booking stages, but also on the go—the tech version of texting a local friend for a quick list of recommendations. With a 98% accuracy, it skillfully answers questions big (a week-long itinerary in London with kids, for example) or small, like a list of popular coffee shops in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. And it can also advise on travel safety tips, customs and local business etiquette across the globe. It can create custom itineraries within an exact budget, location and time constraint.

It is so frictionless to use, and it puts the collective knowledge of the internet right in the palm of your hand. It’s a trip-planning tool on steroids.

Our AI-powered platform enables travel content creators, influencers and bloggers to monetize their work. Through our travel affiliate program you can provide your followers with unique links to hotels and destinations, allowing them to book at special discounted rates, and you earn commission on each booking. We handle the technical aspects, so you can focus on creating captivating content and building genuine connections with your followers.
