PRODUCTIVITY & AI.
So I just wanted to share that I am the least tecchy person, but for the last two years I have been using ChatGPT, (this was my very first AI tool). They told me that I have to train it so that it knows me better. Well, in the beginning it was very basic prompts I was using, and over time, ChatGPT has got to know me and my plans and projects better and better. Tips: 1. Create a Master Prompt - your goals, your plans and projects, your studies, achievements - everything and include an updated CV. Upload it to ChatGPT. Then, ChatGPT has it stored into his memory bank about you, so that you do have to keep reminding ChatGPT every new prompt! 2. Settings - keep your Memory on at all times. 3. Create your Bio in Settings, and how you would like to be addressed. 4. It's worth upgrading to a paid subscription - Plus at £20 per month and then eventually go for Enterprise! (Top Tier). 5. Put ChatGPT in Work Mode - so much better. 6. Start adding your plugins - Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Slack etc - whatever you use. 7. Ask ChatGPT to set up to 5 daily scheduled reminders. 8. You can get your Claude chats exported over to ChatGPT. 9. You don't need to ask it to "act as a publishing expert" etc - just talk to it. 10. Always tell it - You can do better - until you get the right answer! 11. Every morning, ask ChatGPT to bring up today's schedule - then prioritise to the top 3, predict how long each task should take you, ask it to document the procedure, and then automate it, and choose the best tool for that with step-by-step instructions for a complete beginner! 12. Start using ChatGPT with several prompts all in one! You will start to see that you move alot quicker! Let me know how you get on!

This is a great list, thank you for putting it together. One thing I'd add specifically for travel agents: be careful trusting AI for anything client-facing without checking it first. It's fantastic for drafting, organizing, and speeding up research, but it will occasionally invent a hotel amenity, a visa requirement, or a fare rule that sounds completely plausible and is just wrong. I've started keeping a short list of trusted sources (State Department, supplier sites, GDS) that I cross-check anything client-facing against before it goes out. Doesn't slow things down much, and it's saved me from a couple of confident-sounding mistakes. Also seconding #1, the master prompt idea, but I'd frame it as your business context rather than just a CV: your ideal client, your current offerings, your pricing rules, your voice. Once that's loaded in, everything it drafts for you sounds like you instead of generic travel-blog copy.

@Christine Berencz Good question not really, no. Paid tiers get you smarter models, longer context, and fewer usage limits, but hallucination is a property of how these models work, not a bug that gets patched out with a subscription. Even the best paid models will still occasionally state something wrong with total confidence. What actually reduces it: giving the AI source material to work from instead of asking it to recall facts from memory (paste the actual hotel policy vs. asking "what's their policy"), and cross-checking anything client-facing against a real source before it goes out. Paying for a better model helps at the margins, but the verification habit is what actually protects you.
The Solo Women's Travel Numbers Are Getting Hard to Ignore
Been tracking this for my own bookings and the trend is bigger than I expected. The Adventure Travel Trade Association is reporting a 230% increase in companies built specifically for women traveling without a partner or spouse. Intrepid Travel saw a 59% jump in bookings on their women's trips in a single year. And Journey Woman's research found 65% of solo women are actively seeking out women-only or solo-friendly group options before they'll book anything at all. (Source: JourneyWoman, "2026 Travel Trends: Why is Women-Only Group Travel Suddenly So Popular?") What stands out to me isn't just the growth, it's the why underneath it: this isn't women wanting something different than they wanted before, it's women who were always hesitant to go alone finally finding products built for exactly that hesitation, instead of generic solo-travel copy that assumes confidence is already there. If you're working with a 50+ or women-focused niche at all, this feels like more than a trend line, it's a positioning gap. Curious if anyone else here is seeing this show up in real inquiries this year, or in how clients are describing what they're looking for.

I run group trips and concierge planning for hesitant solo travelers 50+, this is exactly the gap I've been building around. Happy to compare notes if anyone's working the same niche.

Hi @Rose Rabotte , welcome! Glad you found your way here. Travel's such a fun thing to dig into, whether it ends up being something you do for fun, for income, or both. What's drawing you to travel specifically, is there a dream trip or destination that got you curious in the first place?

@Christine Berencz Haven't gotten the audios but I am thinking with the drives to and fro might be worth it to stream the content.
Only 2 more weeks! 🗓️
It’s only 2 more weeks until my kids are back in school. This is the time of year that all the parents reach out and start getting their spring and summer break plans in order. 🛫 Where do we think the new trending destination will be for next year’s spring/summer? Last year it was all Italy. The year before that, Greece. And this year, it was Ireland. What’s your best guess for next year?

Fun question! I'd bet on Japan, it's had steady momentum the last couple years and the yen is still making it feel like a deal, plus it hits that "bucket list but finally accessible" sweet spot the way Italy and Greece did before they trended. Curious if you're seeing any early chatter pointing that direction too?
