Generative AI can read a traveller’s emotions and give quick, personalised suggestions. It works as a kind of thinking layer that senses mood and adapts answers.
People can use it before a trip to explore options and build an itinerary, during a trip for real‑time suggestions, and after travel to help write online reviews. Simple examples are recommending a hike when someone feels energetic or a quiet coffee when they feel tired. The technology runs on websites and smartphone apps, but sharing emotional information can raise privacy concerns.
