OTAs and OpenAI partner to launch ChatGPT plugin for travel planning

Expedia Group (which owns Hotels.com, Vrbo, Travelocity, Hotwire, Orbitz and more) announced launch of a new ChatGPT plugin to help users simplify travel planning through the OTA platform. Through Expedia’s collaboration with OpenAI, the ChatGPT platform’s capabilities will expand for the first time from being able to perform standalone functions—like helping users to find suitable flights, accommodations, activities and more—to actually helping users book their trips in an integrated way.
