Agoda has rolled out an AI-driven vacation planner for Indian travellers in partnership with Google AI.
The new tool harnesses Google’s Gemini and Imagen models. It uses AI to understand user preferences and instantly generate customized destination and itinerary recommendations.
Gemini processes input from users to pinpoint their needs. Meanwhile, Imagen delivers interactive, visually rich itineraries. Users can easily download, share their plans, and access platform-exclusive discounts. 
“>At Google, we believe in empowering visionaries to transform industries. Our collaboration with Agoda is a perfect example, as we collectively embark on a journey to truly reimagine travel—moving beyond simple bookings to instantly personalised, vividly inspiring journeys for every traveller, powered by advanced AI,” said Pulkit Lambah, industry head for travel at Google Asia Pacific.
Agoda claims the planner taps into over 5 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities to streamline trip planning. The campaign targets different traveller profiles using Google’s AI-enhanced ad tools on YouTube and Google Ads.
Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana features as Agoda’s brand ambassador and “Chief Wellness Officer,” Mr. Vacaywala. In AI-generated videos, he offers tailored travel suggestions and narrates personalized itineraries.
The AI Vacation Planner is now live at AgodaVacationPlanner.com and will run until June 30. Promotional efforts will continue on YouTube and Meta platforms during the campaign.
Gaurav Malik, country director for India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal at Agoda, stated:
“Imagine travel planning that’s as exciting and smooth as the journey itself. That’s what we’ve achieved by blending Google’s advanced AI models with Ayushmann Khurrana’s dynamic Mr Vacaywala. On the campaign website AgodaTravelPlanner.com, we’ve redefined the travel planning experience to be both personal and inspiring, and we’re absolutely thrilled to make this available to Indian travellers this month!”
