eDreams ODIGEO, one of the world’s largest online travel companies and the second-largest in terms of flights globally, announced that it has achieved greater personalization for travelers following the deployment of a new iteration of the AI technology that powers its travel search engine. As a result, almost three-quarters of users (72%) with a previous search made, now order the first recommended travel option provided to them via search. This represents an increase of +17% since the technology was introduced at the end of last year.

Providing truly personalized travel experiences is a key priority for the business as it strongly enhances the customer experience, making it easier and faster for travelers to book the travel option that is most convenient and tailored to their individual needs and preferences, which ultimately means cost, effort and time savings for travelers. The accuracy of this technology reduces the need for users to manually use filters, spend time browsing, comparing and building different itineraries on their own, as the platform makes all the necessary combinations and calculations on their behalf, and in a matter of seconds.

The personalization of the booking funnel also brings advantages to the business. When given personalized and tailored-made travel propositions, users are more likely to complete their bookings after making a search on the platform, translating more searches into bookings. The business has seen a growth in conversion rates following the implementation of this enhanced AI solution.
