AI-ENHANCED TRAVEL YOUR SECRET TO THE PERFECT ITINERARY

The feeling of excitement for an upcoming vacation can quickly turn into one of stress. After you purchase your ticket or plan your travel, you may feel so burnt out that scheduling day-to-day activities for said vacation feels impossible. Thankfully, helping you create an itinerary is where AI thrives.

that don't match what you want. AI, like ChatGPT, uses large language models (LLMs) to learn from the person interacting with it, so the back-and- forth of providing feedback helps it pinpoint your specific interests to give you better information. For example, you can provide this prompt: "Make me a travel itinerary for seven days in Rome with activities in less crowded areas that are accessible to elderly travelers."

SO, HOW DO YOU USE AI TO HELP YOU PLAN A TRIP? The first step is to craft a prompt that will get the best response possible. To do that, ask your preferred AI

platform questions in your native language. AI understands many languages, and your grammar and syntax when asking questions matter when looking for perfect results. The more grammatically accurate your sentence is, the more artificial intelligence can help you. Next, you need to be as specific as possible. Include all relevant information about your travel party when asking it to make plans for you, including if there are any kids, elderly travelers, pets, dietary restrictions, interests, or priorities because those factors will impact the results it gives you.

Finally, double-check any of the information AI gives you. Most platforms can only access information available before 2021, so certain attractions, restaurants, parks, or other itinerary items may not exist anymore.

Nina’s surgery with Dr. Scott was a long time coming. She avoided treatment for her inward-growing eyelashes for about 10 years, and most recently delaying surgery again when she gave birth to her daughter in 2020. But she finally decided to move forward earlier this year when she realized it would be a requirement for potential future Lasik surgery. “I’m so happy I went ahead with it,” Nina says. Her condition of trichiasis meant her eyelashes constantly brushed against her eye surface. “I wear contacts for most of the day, so I didn’t have an issue with itching or scratching. But when I would take my contacts out, I’d constantly be rubbing my eyes.” Nina found Dr. Scott through a recommendation from her regular optometrist. After an examination, he determined her upper lids were also drooping and needed a minor repair. “Dr. Scott was great,” she says. “He made it so easy. He took a few pictures, petitioned my insurance to cover it, and we scheduled surgery for March.” A Surgical Success Story How Nina Regained Comfort and Confidence

She reports an outstanding experience at the hospital. “The nurses who took care of me said, ‘You have a really great doctor,’” she remembers. “The surgery team made sure I was comfortable and explained everything step by step. It was a smooth and pleasant process.” Nina worked from home for two weeks while recovering, saying, “The pain was minimal. I used ice patches and took Tylenol.” The most significant inconveniences were difficulty looking at her computer for long periods “and being unable to wear makeup.” But the results were well worth the minor disruption in her routine. “Now I get to enjoy my glasses,” Nina says. “I like having different styles and own about six different pairs. I’m wearing them more often now, and I don’t find myself automatically gravitating toward contacts.” She also reports no scarring. “My eyes don’t even look like I had surgery,” she explains. “People who know I had it done said it looks so natural. I was concerned my eyes would bulge if we cut the lower eyelids, but it’s not an issue. My eyes look 15 years younger!” Overall, Nina reports appreciating Dr. Scott’s honesty and quality of care. “I would definitely refer people to Dr. Scott — even for cosmetic reasons,” she says. “I’m very happy with my results.”
