Google AI Mode has been actively involved in travel planning for some time, but recent industry reports indicate that Google is now expanding these features into more widespread use. These enhancements include creating dynamic, day-by-day trip itineraries, integrating hotel options, ticket purchasing, and dining reservations—all embedded into a single AI-powered conversation.
Brad Brewer shared insights on LinkedIn via Agentic Hospitality, emphasizing that these updates are not just experimental; they are on the verge of a broader rollout. He provided additional details explaining the latest features, which have recently been introduced.
According to Brewer, these advancements go beyond simple planning tools. They mark the beginning of a significant transition from traditional search functions to more interactive and collaborative platforms like Canvas. With tools such as NotebookLM and Canvas, travelers now have the ability to build and share detailed itineraries, shifting away from static search results towards more engaging, cooperative trip planning experiences.
The implications for the hospitality industry are vast. These trip itineraries, generated by AI, are not confined to Google’s ecosystem—they can be shared directly with brand loyalty apps or coordinated through platforms like Agentic Hospitality. This integration enables seamless communication with hotel and destination management systems, allowing for personalized experiences before a guest arrives. Hotels can prepare rooms, offer upgrades, reserve activities, and apply loyalty benefits automatically, all driven by the shared itinerary.
