AI Reshapes Travel Decision And Fulfillment
On April 3, 2026, Fliggy CTO Ye Chen said conversational AI is shifting travel decisions from search to chat-based planning but still produces illogical itineraries and lacks temporal and spatial common sense. He called for integration with external data—maps, timetables—and backend APIs to validate feasibility and ensure reliable fulfillment, arguing OTAs and suppliers must adapt product structures and reliability guarantees.
