Shifting Travel Trends: The Demand for Personalization
Nashville, TN | November 19, 2024 - As travel trends in the United States continue to shift towards more ‘authentic experiences’, there's growing pressure among tourism agencies and visitor bureaus to innovate and offer personalized and meaningful travel experiences. Workday Ninja, an innovative workflow automation company, has responded to this demand with its release of the Travel Neighborhood Guide—a free AI-powered tool that delivers customized, hyperlocal itineraries in under five minutes.
Designed with the modern traveler in mind to aid local tourism services, the Travel Neighborhood Guide leverages advanced automation and AI technology to generate bespoke travel plans based on preferences, interests, and lifestyles. This tool provides local tourism agencies a unique opportunity to integrate a personalized itinerary generator into their systems, enhancing the services they offer to visitors and newcomers alike.
"The Travel Neighborhood Guide can easily be incorporated into any agency's website or internal system, enabling tourism professionals to deliver customized itineraries that highlight the best local experiences—whether it’s historic landmarks, local eateries, or hidden gems known only to the locals," said Alane Boyd, Co-founder of Workday Ninja. “It’s designed for agencies looking to add value and authenticity to the experiences they provide.”

Shifting Travel Trends: The Demand for Personalization
According to McKinsey, while both local and international tourism have returned to near-2019 levels, the mindset of travelers has evolved. Approximately 40% of U.S. respondents are more willing to invest in immersive and authentic experiences, prioritizing local culture over traditional tourist attractions. The demand for cookie-cutter itineraries has diminished, with personalized, tailor-made journeys becoming the new standard for discerning travelers.
With the Travel Neighborhood Guide, destination providers and visitor bureaus can provide tailored, hyperlocal itineraries that cater to these desires, positioning themselves as invaluable resources for tourists.
An automation can be triggered to send the lead (name and email address) to your email marketing campaign and any other campaigns you'd want it added to. "This is a seamless process that adds value to the traveler and creates no additional work for the business," Boyd describes.

“As travelers become more demanding in their need for authentic, personalized experiences, AI tools like the Travel Neighborhood Guide are essential for addressing these expectations,” says Micah Johnson, co-founder of Workday Ninja. “It’s more than just a tool for travelers—it’s an asset for the industry, allowing local tourism agencies to deliver customized, meaningful itineraries that align with each client’s preferences.”
The Travel Neighborhood Guide can be customized for local visitor bureaus and tourism centers, which allows for a faster and personalized web or app experience for their clients. Workday Ninja has also expanded the platforms on which the itinerary reports can be received in minutes—from email to text messaging.
Local visitor bureaus can use a customized Travel Neighborhood Guide to offer faster, more personalized itineraries on their "Plan Your Visit" pages, while simultaneously generating leads by capturing visitor information.
As more travelers seek personalized experiences, this powerful tool offers a timely solution that uses the power of AI to provide itineraries that go beyond the surface of popular destinations, making it easier than ever to create meaningful connections on the road.
