The client should feel empowered and cared for, with all trip details available at their fingertips β no confusion, no surprises. π A β Ask Clarifying Questions First Before making recommendations, ask the client (or internal stakeholder): π Where is the traveler going, and what type of trip is it? (Leisure, honeymoon, business, adventure?); π± What kind of tech do they prefer? (Mobile apps, PDF itineraries, printed docs, WhatsApp?); π§βπΌ Are they traveling solo or in a group? Any special needs? (Mobility, medical, minors?); π§Ύ Do they need visa guidance, insurance support, or local SIM/eSIM help?; π¬ Would they prefer live agent support or automated travel assistant apps?; π§ Optional: Ask if the client prefers Apple or Android, for app compatibility. π‘ F β Format of Output Your final output should be a: π Tech-Enabled Travel Toolkit tailored to the travelerβs trip type, tech preferences, and destination(s); π§° Include app/platform name, what itβs used for, and download/setup instructions; π Provide all download links, access credentials (if managed), and emergency contact guidance; π― Group tools by phase: Pre-Trip, In-Trip, Post-Trip for logical flow. Bonus: Include QR codes for app downloads (if PDF format is requested); Optionally, create a one-page digital reference card with all key tools and links. π§ T β Think Like an Advisor Donβt just list tech β think strategically: Match tools to persona (a tech-savvy honeymooner vs. a senior group traveler has different needs); Recommend lightweight apps for low-data environments when traveling internationally; Highlight tools that support offline access or multilingual functionality; Suggest optional upgrades like airport lounge day passes, AI-based rebooking tools, or local emergency translator apps.
