Testimonial:
“I put the AI system through the paces, and it was spot on. I asked a lot of off-the-wall questions, and it handled them. It kept telling me to call or email the advisor. I see it as a great research tool for the advisor, and as a way to help the client narrow down what they want.”
Mike – Vacation Specialist / TPI

Two Ways to Use It

A Lead Generator on Your Site – and Your Back-Office Drafting Assistant

The same engine works both sides of the enquiry. Put it on your website to capture new leads around the clock, or open it yourself after a client call to draft and send tailored plans in minutes.

On Your Website: A 24/7 Lead Generator

Embedded on your site, it answers travellers instantly, drafts a plan, and routes every enquiry to your team. Casual browsers become qualified leads without you lifting a finger.

  • Captures enquiries day and night

  • Every plan reviewed by you before it reaches the client

  • Inherits your branding and voice

In Your Back Office: Your Drafting Assistant

Already spoken with a client? Brief the engine yourself and it prepares the itinerary, cruise and hotel options, and visa notes – ready for you to refine and forward.

  • Draft full itineraries after a consultation

  • Forward tailored information in minutes

  • Spend your time advising, not researching

The Problem

Every Travel Advisor Deserves an AI Assistant

Travel agencies face constant pressure. Long hours, sick days, annual leave, and after-hours enquiries that quietly go unanswered. Every missed message at 11pm is a lead lost to a competitor who replied first.

Unlike a human team member, MyRecommendationEngine.ai never takes a sick day, never needs annual leave or public holidays off, and happily works evenings, weekends, and around the clock. For most businesses it’s significantly more affordable than hiring additional staff.

Capabilities

A Full-Service Travel Brain

The engine doesn’t just answer questions. It builds complete, bookable travel solutions – embedded directly into your website.

Tailored Itineraries

Multi-stop trips built around the traveller’s dates, budget and interests. Drafted in seconds, refined by you.

Cruise Comparisons

Surface and compare cruise options side by side – itineraries, ships and pricing, normalised so trade-offs are obvious.

Hotel Shortlists

Curated stays matched to the trip and the traveller. Not the loudest brand – the right fit.

Visa & Practical Info

The details that turn a trip idea into a plan that’s ready to book. Current, accurate, properly sourced.

Embedded directly into your website, it gives clients fast, consistent answers — even during peak periods or outside business hours. You may bias the answers to suit.

How It Works

Designed to Empower Travel Advisors – Not Replace Them

At the end of every recommendation, a Submit button sends the plan straight to a qualified Travel Advisor for review.

STEP 01

Client Asks

They describe their dream trip – dates, destinations, who’s coming, what matters.

“10 days in Japan for our honeymoon, late March, mid budget…”

STEP 02

AI Drafts

Builds a full itinerary in seconds, with hotels, transit, and visa notes.

Tokyo · Hakone · Kyoto · Osaka
Aman properties · ryokan stay · cherry-blossom timing · visa: 90-day on arrival

STEP 03

You Review

The Travel Advisor finalises, applies supplier relationships, and books.

✓ Approved & booked

The AI handles the discovery, the research and the first draft. You apply the judgement, the supplier relationships and the personal touch that no machine can replicate. The result: you convert more enquiries, protect your margins, and spend your time on the conversations only a human can deliver.

Why It Pays for Itself

A New Revenue Driver, Not Just a Tool

The average Travel Advisor in the U.S. earns around US$50,000 a year.

A Note From the Founder

Made for How Travel Advisors Actually Work

I started ITByUs to build practical software for businesses that have been overlooked by the big platforms, and travel advisors, more than most, deserve smarter tools. You shouldn’t lose a booking because a client emailed at 10:47pm.

MyRecommendationEngine.ai is the assistant I wish every advisor I know already had: drafting in the background, never closing for the day, and quietly handing every plan back to the human who knows the client.

Dave Upton
Founder, ITByUs

Frequently Asked Questions

One script tag dropped into your site. No rebuild, no agency required. The widget inherits your brand colours, and clients see it as part of your site, not a third party.

You do. Every draft is routed to a Travel Advisor on your team via the Submit button. Clients never receive an AI-only response – every plan has a human seal of approval.

The full assistant embedded on your site, unlimited draft itineraries, cruise and hotel comparisons, visa and practical info lookups, and the advisor review workflow. No per-seat fees, no surprise tokens.

Yes. Client conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train external models, and are exportable or deletable on request – including a one-click purge after a booking closes.

The assistant adopts your logo, colour palette, type and voice. We can also tune the system prompt to your agency’s specialties, preferred suppliers, and the way you talk to clients.
