With days getting warmer and summer just around the corner, you may be thinking of vacation plans with your friends and loved ones. And while some people find planning and fixing the itinerary therapeutic, let’s face it, if you’re the designated planner of the barkada, it could be quite a chore. Luckily, finding inspiration, discovering activities, and planning the itinerary is now made much easier (and entertaining) thanks to Travereel and their new feature.
To those not yet quite familiar with the app, Travereel is a Pinoy-owned and led mobile application available for iOS and Android that combines engagement and entertainment of social reels and short-form content and the convenience of booking through the app itself. Basically it’s an app that lets you discover, and book your travel in one go. Well, they added a new feature to truly make this a one-stop-shop app for the avid Pinoy travelers, and they’re utilizing the power of AI to do so.
For the first time, Travereel launched their new AI-gent, Vicky, to help create a full itinerary for you and your friends. Simply indicate the date and destination of travel and the app will ask certain discovery question on your travel preferences. After which it will craft a daily itinerary that you can customize even further.
Vicky’s aim is to simplify the travel planning experience by streamlining all the information that can overload you and present the data in an easy to digest and visually engaging way. In fact, by analyzing user preferences, budget constraints, and trending destinations within the Travereel community, the new AI-gent system can craft hyper-personalized itineraries with daily breakdowns of activities, hidden gems, and budget optimization to maximize your travel experience without overspending.
To make the travel planning even more fun and engaging, you can add your friends that have accounts on Travereel as well and they’ll get to see the entire plan. You can chat within the app as well and you can even split payment and make it as transparent as possible.
“Travereel was born out of a passion for making your dream trip easy and unforgettable,” says Mr. Ricky Sy, Chairman and Co-founder of Travereel. “With the introduction of Vicky and its AI powered features, we aren’t just a booking app; we are a travel companion that understands your style. Designed to deliver ease in traveling, the Travereel app can be your all-in-one companion for any travel whether big or small.”
Empowering the Creator Economy
Local Media and KOLs gather to test out the new features of Travereel
Taking a page out of popular social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube, Travereel incentivizes its content creators with their own Affiliate Marketing Program specifically for Travel. Creators can monetize their wanderlust by sharing reels; when users book a stay or activity through t a creator’s video—or via a Vicky itinerary inspired by that video—the creator earns a commission.
And because the app is relatively young (it officially launched in 2023), young creators can take advantage of the space and really build something for themselves — and their travels.
The Travereel app is available for download on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, first time users get a Php250 voucher for their first booking. Also visit the Travereel social media pages for more information.
