Machine learning for travel industry

Machine Learning is growing exponentially in the existing technological realm. Embodying massive potential, it can possibly upend the prevailing systems as it continues to permeate into more unrealistic industries. However, in order to fully decode the prowess of machine learning, you’ve got to take a closer look at its applications and outcomes. And travel industry is not necessarily the first sector that crosses minds whenever one might think of machine learning but it is utterly surprising how impressive innovations are blooming out of this domain which will set an inspiration for other industries in the near future.

 

Why Travel Industry?

 

The travel industry has revolutionized immensely in the near decade, all thanks to the internet. From taking tours to the travel agents for booking a holiday, the trend has taken a noticeable shift as the majority of flights and accommodations bookings are now happening online. This clearly signifies how our work and private lives have been affected by digitization and how simplified things have become now.

 

Moreover, the travel domain essentially revolves around the personal choices. Rendering improvements to customer experience and facilitating amplified customization are the two vital aspects for enhancing the users’ online travel buying experience. Machine learning offers exhilarating options to foster this change.

 

Enhancing Hotel Search Experience with Personalization

 

The online customers are giving out an unprecedented amount of data pertaining to the current living standards. Commonly termed as “data exhaust”, these pieces of information can be used in the most inventive way with an aim to provide personalized services to the users. Major companies like Netflix and Amazon have already incorporated the concept of machine learning and showed us how effective product personalization can be in order to attract more engagement as well as return visits. The travel domain is also stepping inside the technicalities and has started to show off some good signs already.

 

The final goal of incorporating machine learning is to make the entire process of searching travel products an enthralling experience, rather than monotonous technical procedures of targeting features and on/off toggles.

 

Build Machine Learning Teams   

 

Whenever we talk about machine learning, we focus more on raw computing power, but unfortunately, not enough attention is levied on changing our working patterns. Processes that were manual earlier have now become fully automated. Machine Learning frameworks can lend out sophisticated suggestions that were earlier not available to the teams.
