AI travel planner start-up Speakspots.com has launch real-time flights packages for its users.
Travellers visiting the Speakspots.com platform will be offered the option to receive fully personalised flight packages – tailored to their individual preferences and requirements – calculated and displayed in under 1 minute, as part of Speakspots.com’s bespoke itinerary planning services.
Over the last 12 months, Speakspots.com has already seen a 1000% year over year increase in traffic, with users visiting the platform in search of personalised tourism recommendations for over 175 global destinations.
In December 2023, the company began offering ticketing services for attractions via leading Spanish online travel operator Civitatis and saw conversion rates 3x the industry standard. Last month Speakspots.com launched in the UK market, announcing the inclusion of accommodation inventory to its trip planning services, via a partnership with Booking.com.
Now, the firm is adding flights to its platform, made possible via global travel leader Skyscanner’s flights API.
“At Speakspots.com, our ambition is to create the most intelligent and efficient trip planning assistant,” said Speakspots.com founder Andres Martinez Artal.
“Since 2019, we have been laser focused on building a fit for purpose AI and collaborating with the best in travel for access to industry leading APIs to help us deliver against that vision.
“Today’s announcement brings us one step closer to offering travellers truly smart trip planning, via a single platform that can connect travellers to personalised recommendations from across the travel ecosystem – not just discovering what to do and where to eat in a destination, but also how to get there and where to stay.
He added: “Speakspots.com eliminates the countless hours spent trawling through hundreds of websites and social media feeds, as well as the inevitable choice overwhelm that follows.
“Instead, we generate an itinerary that is entirely personalised to you, which takes into account not only your personal preferences and requirements, but also real-time data that could impact your trip. That’s our secret sauce.”
The integration of flights via Skyscanner’s API also allows Speakspots.com’s AI to enhance the platform’s “Smart budgets” feature; this enables budget optimisation of each of the various trip components.
Following on from a successful pre-seed round at the beginning of the summer, Speakspots.com is preparing for its next funding round; this time, a seed round.
Currently, Speakspots.com is available in 36 languages and can plan itineraries in 176 destinations across 37 countries around the world.
The company is a finalist in the Start-up of the Year category for the 2024 Travolution Awards, with CEO Andrés Martínez Artal shortlisted for Rising Star of the Year.
He was also included on Forbes’s list of the 100 most creative professionals of 2024.
