According to the GTI study, travellers in the Asia Pacific actively \u201csense-check\u201d various aspects before their trips, from core needs like accommodations to blind spots like insurance, visa requirements, and monitoring local current events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI simplifies pre-trip preparations and complements travel websites and social media as key research channels. Nearly half (49%) of respondents use AI tools to discover destinations and ideas \u2013 making it the most frequent use case. Other top uses include:<br>Gather and curate travel reviews and recommendations (41%);<br>Discover local tours and experiences (35%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payments are an essential part of pre-trip due diligence. Payment security is top of mind for respondents (33%), followed by card acceptance (27%). These underscore that digital payments are a staple for Asia Pacific travellers, with 73% bringing cards or mobile wallets on their trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Travellers lock in essentials early<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>While travel planning has become more strategic and deliberate, travel experiences do not become rigid and predictable. Instead, travellers lock in essential bookings early and value spontaneity and are open to changing their plans once they arrive:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Almost four in five (79%) booked accommodations in advance of the trip;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But only half of respondents (51%) booked experiences in advance, suggesting that travellers keep their options open until they reach their travel destinations;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>72% of dining decisions are made after reaching their destinations, while 65 percent of transport choices are made during this stage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visa Asia Pacific, Chief Marketing Officer Danielle Jin said: \u201cThe latest Global Travel Intentions study affirms the importance of travel to Asia Pacific.
