澳大利亚研究发现，越来越多旅客正在转向生成式AI来规划假期行程。在接受调查的421名澳大利亚旅客中，28.8%使用了生成式AI进行旅游规划，其中年轻一代的接纳度更高——Gen Z旅客的使用比例达到30%1。这一趋势反映了澳大利亚出国旅游的持续增长，2024-25年出国旅游记录创高，共计1230万次，较前一年增长11.6%1。
研究表明，旅客决定是否将旅游决策委托给AI的关键因素包括可靠性、问责制、可信度、公平性和透明度五个方面1。然而，研究发现了一个出人意料的现象——更高的系统透明度反而会降低旅客的委托意愿，研究人员称之为"透明度悖论"1。这是因为过度详细的解释会增加认知负担，抵消了AI带来的规划便利1。
政府部门对AI提供旅游建议的准确性提出了警告。澳大利亚Smartraveller网站指出，生成式AI可能提供过时的运输时间表、不正确的签证信息，甚至推荐已经关闭的酒店1。澳大利亚旅游局已将AI介导的旅游发现列为战略优先事项1。
Nearly 29 percent of Australian adults rely on generative AI to plan their holidays, with Generation Z adoption reaching 30 percent.1 This trend reflects broader travel patterns, as outbound tourism from Australia hit a record 12.3 million trips in 2024-25, up 11.6 percent from the previous year.1
However, research based on 421 Australian travelers reveals a counterintuitive challenge: excessive system transparency may actually discourage travelers from delegating decisions to AI.1 The study identifies five critical factors shaping whether travelers trust AI with vacation planning: reliability, accountability, credibility, fairness, and transparency.1 Yet researchers discovered what they term a "transparency paradox"—higher perceived transparency correlates with reduced willingness to delegate at all confidence levels.1 Detailed explanations intended to build trust instead increase cognitive burden, ultimately undermining the convenience AI promises to deliver.1
The risks of over-reliance on AI for travel planning are concrete. Australia's government Smartraveller website warns that AI systems may provide outdated transportation schedules, incorrect visa requirements, and recommendations for hotels that have already closed.1 These limitations underscore the tension between AI's potential to enhance travel discovery and the need for users to maintain critical judgment. As Australia's tourism authority has identified AI-mediated travel discovery as a strategic priority, and as organizations worldwide embrace transparency principles through initiatives like the OECD's AI Principles, the challenge lies in calibrating disclosure to support rather than overwhelm travelers making consequential decisions.1
