AI preferences for vacation planning favored by most Germans, according to survey results - Majority of Germans Express Confidence in AI for Holiday Planning Decisions
In a recent survey conducted by Bitkom, a leading digital association in Germany, it was revealed that while Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being increasingly adopted in various aspects of life, its use in vacation planning remains relatively modest.
The survey, which was conducted in April and May of this year, interviewed a total of 1006 people aged 16 and over in Germany. Among the key findings, it was discovered that 955 out of the 1006 interviewees stated they take vacation trips.
However, when it comes to the use of AI for vacation planning, the results were less definitive. Only 11% of respondents let AI suggest routes during their vacation, while a mere 1% used AI for information about travel destinations, such as travel warnings or vaccinations.
More promising, perhaps, was the finding that 22% of respondents use AI to suggest accommodations for their vacation, and 8% of respondents use AI to create packing lists for their vacations. However, no new information was provided about the use of AI for travel-related information, accommodation suggestions, or creating packing lists.
It is worth noting that while the use of AI in vacation planning is still in its nascent stages, broader AI engagement in Germany is noted. A 2025 Bitkom survey found that only 20% of German employees have received AI training at work, indicating limited but growing AI adoption in workplaces, though this is not specific to vacation planning.
The survey on vacation planning was conducted in Berlin, Germany. If you need detailed, up-to-date AI trends in travel planning from Bitkom, you may need to access Bitkom's official publications or reports directly.
In conclusion, while the use of AI in vacation planning is still in its early stages in Germany, there is potential for growth. As more people become familiar with AI technology and its potential benefits, it is likely that we will see more widespread adoption in the future.
- The employment policy in Germany needs to incorporate training programs on artificial intelligence (AI), as revealed by Bitkom, given that only 20% of German employees have received AI training at work.
- Despite the modest use of AI in vacation planning, the community policy could benefit from encouraging travel-related companies to integrate AI technology, such as for providing travel-related information, suggesting accommodations, and creating packing lists, for a more seamless vacation planning experience.
