The Expedia Group, a leading travel booking site, recently published six predictions for travel trends in 2024.
We featured them in an article on this site and Yaoyoroz and introduced them again.
The trend that caught our attention the most! It was “having a generative AI plan your itinerary”.
This time, we actually asked ChatGPT to plan an itinerary for Tokyo.
What kind of itinerary did ChatGPT plan for us? Let us introduce you.
Tokyo Travel Plan planned by ChatGPT for 3 days
You can put various conditions when asking for an itinerary or ask more than once, but this time I would like to try asking question only one time to see what kind of travel plan you can come up with!
First, ask a question like this!
The answer that came back from ChatGPT was…
Then, after that answer, he carefully introduced the program in the form of “Day 1 morning, Day 1 afternoon, Day 2 morning…” and so on.
So from here, I will present the plan as it was introduced to me.

Conclusion: A pretty good plan] You can enjoy Tokyo to the fullest with a royal plan!
ChatGPT added these words at the end.
‘This itinerary offers a mix of traditional and contemporary Tokyo experiences. It can be adjusted to suit your interests and preferences. We hope you enjoy your trip!”
That’s very kind.
True to these words, the plan introduced by ChatGPT was an itinerary that allowed us to fully enjoy both the traditional and modern aspects of Tokyo.
And all of the places he introduced to us are on the main street and must be visited at least once if you come to Tokyo.
This time, under the condition of a 3-day/2-night trip to Tokyo, the plan was proposed to me after asking only once.
If they introduced such a good plan even with just that, I think you can expect a little more detailed conditions and wishes when you propose a plan to us!
One of the travel trend predictions for 2024 is “having a trip planned by a generative AI.
Why don’t you give it a try?
Thank you very much.
