Swedes have quickly embraced AI as part of their travel planning. A new Sifo survey from TUI shows that one in three Swedes uses AI when planning their vacation.
The survey conducted by Kantar Media on behalf of TUI shows that it is most common to ask AI for help with planning activities during the trip (10 percent), finding restaurants, bars and cafes (7 percent) and finding suitable travel destinations (6 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were somewhat surprised that the differences between the age groups were so small. However, the areas of use differ slightly. Young people prefer help with packing lists, while middle-aged people use it for translation assistance,\u201d says Dian Martinez Valencia, communications manager at TUI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI has quickly become a natural part of the planning process, making it easier for travelers to find inspiration based on personal preferences, compare options, and get advice in real time. At the same time, the travel company advises Swedes to always fact-check the information from AI summaries and assistants.
\u2013 Generative AI retrieves information from many different sources online. However, as the global situation can change quickly, it is important to always double-check that the information is up-to-date, especially when it comes to visa and vaccination requirements, baggage rules and the like. Ultimately, it is the traveler's responsibility to be correctly informed, says Dian Martinez Valencia, communications manager at TUI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
