The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is transforming online travel booking by enabling highly personalized user experiences. Traditional one-size-fits-all booking engines struggle to meet modern travelers’ evolving expectations for relevance, convenience, and real-time responsiveness. AI-driven personalization harnesses machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and predictive analytics to tailor search results, recommendations, dynamic pricing, and ancillary offerings to individual preferences and behaviors. This manuscript examines the theoretical foundations, technical architectures, and business impacts of AI-enabled personalization within online travel platforms. Through a systematic review of academic literature and industry reports, we identify key personalization modalities—collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, contextual bandits, and deep learning–based hybrid models—and evaluate their strengths and limitations. We further analyze the integration of real-time contextual data (e.g., location, device, social signals) and feedback loops that continuously refine recommendation accuracy. Preliminary case analyses of leading travel websites demonstrate measurable uplifts in click-through rates, conversion rates, average booking value, and customer satisfaction when personalization is effectively deployed. We also discuss challenges around data privacy, algorithmic transparency, and operational complexity. Building on these insights, we propose a research framework combining experimental A/B testing, multi-armed bandit optimization, and qualitative user studies to assess personalization impact holistically. The full manuscript will detail methodology, results, and actionable guidelines for practitioners seeking to leverage AI-driven personalization to differentiate their platforms, deepen customer engagement, and drive revenue growth in an increasingly competitive online travel market.
