What changes when it is travel & tourism
The popularity baseline is humbling and necessary. Plenty of sophisticated systems fail to beat 'show what is selling', and you should know that before deploying one.
In travel & tourism, travellers need answers instantly, in their language, at any hour. That single fact reshapes how recommendation & personalisation has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is itinerary generation, usually integrated against CRM. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector
Can it handle booking changes?
Yes, with integration into your booking systems and clear approval limits on anything with a financial consequence.
What about disruptions?
Proactive notification and rebooking options are the highest-value automation in travel. It is precisely when volume spikes and human capacity does not.
How much data do we need?
Less than people assume to start. A content-based approach works from day one; collaborative filtering improves as interaction volume grows.
How do you handle new products?
Content-based features carry new items until interaction data accumulates, with deliberate exploration so new items get a fair chance to be seen.
How do we know it is working?
Controlled A/B tests measured on revenue or engagement, with proper statistical treatment rather than eyeballing a dashboard.
