How does ChatGPT help with travel planning?
Imagine you are sitting face to face with a travel agent. You have a conversation and the travel agent plans your trip.
You can do the same with ChatGPT. Not sure where you want to travel to? ChatGPT is excellent in giving you inspiration and suggestions. And there is no limit on how many questions you can ask. ChatGPT is ready and eager to help. Another big bonus, unlike a travel agent, it isn’t paid by the hour!
Getting started with ChatGPT
To get started with ChatGPT, you must set up an account. There is a free version available, so sign up and in a few minutes, you’ll be ready to go.
Once you have signed in, start typing questions into ChatGPT using prompts. So what is a prompt?
What’s a prompt?
A prompt is a specific instruction you give ChatGPT to get a response. The more specific the prompt you type in, the better answer you’ll get. An example of a ChatGPT travel inspiration prompt you can use is:
“I want to go on a beach holiday that is close to my home city. Can you give me five destinations?”
ChatGPT will give you some great ideas and all you need to do is pick your favourite from the list.
