Abstract- The rapid advancements in technology have significantly transformed the travel industry, providing travelers with enhanced experiences and more efficient planning capabilities. However, the existing travel planning systems often fall short in delivering comprehensive and personalized itineraries that cater to the diverse needs and preferences of users. To address this gap, the proposed "Travel Itinerary Planner using AI" project aims to revolutionize the traditional approach to trip planning. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques, this system generates optimized travel itineraries that consider crucial factors such as travelling duration, destination, weather information. This innovative approach ensures seamless exploration and memorable experiences for travelers The core objective of this project is to empower users with a user-friendly interface that seamlessly integrates their personal preferences, interests, and constraints to produce tailored travel plans. This paradigm shift in travel planning revolutionizes the traditional methods by employing advanced computational algorithms and data-driven insights to deliver personalized, efficient, and enjoyable travel experiences. The system's ability to harness real-time data, perform algorithmic optimization, and adapt to user preferences sets it apart from the limitations of existing travel planning solutions, which often struggle to provide comprehensive and customized itineraries.Through the strategicintegration ofAIandNLP technologies, the"Travel Itinerary Planner using AI" project aims to redefine the way travelers plan and experience their journeys, empowering them with a comprehensive and intuitive tool that caters to theiruniqueneedsandpreferences.
