Abstract

This project focuses on developing an AI-based Trip Planner Bot for the Hyderabad Metropolitan city, using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning algorithms, specifically Random Forest. The chatbot is designed to assist users in planning trips to over 60 famous locations in Hyderabad. It understands user queries, provides detailed information about tourist destinations, and suggests travel plans. The chatbot delivers dynamic, context-aware responses and aims to enhance user experience by making trip planning more efficient and engaging.

Introduction

Travel planning in large cities like Hyderabad can be overwhelming due to the abundance of tourist attractions and the need for real-time information. Traditional methods rely on static guides and websites that fail to offer personalized recommendations. The AI-based Trip Planner Bot aims to address these challenges by leveraging advanced NLP and Machine Learning techniques to provide a seamless and interactive trip-planning experience.

Problem Statement

Planning trips in large metropolitan cities like Hyderabad can be time-consuming and challenging due to the vast number of tourist attractions and the need for reliable information. Traditional trip planning methods rely on static information sources, which lack personalization and dynamic interaction. Users often struggle to get up-to-date information on locations, transport options, and timings. There is a need for an intelligent, interactive system that can assist users in planning their trips effectively.

Existing System and Disadvantages

Existing trip planning systems rely on static websites, travel guides, or basic chatbots that lack dynamic interaction and real-time data. These systems provide generic information and are not capable of understanding user preferences or offering personalized trip suggestions.

Disadvantages:

• Lack of real-time and dynamic information.
• Limited user interaction and personalization.
• No integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for better query understanding.
• Inefficient in handling a large number of tourist destinations.

Proposed System and Advantages

The proposed AI-based Trip Planner Bot aims to overcome the limitations of existing systems by providing an interactive chatbot that uses NLP and Machine Learning (Random Forest) to offer dynamic and context-aware trip planning services. The chatbot covers more than 60 famous tourist destinations in Hyderabad.

Advantages:

• Dynamic and Real-time Responses: Provides up-to-date information on tourist destinations.
• Personalized Trip Suggestions: Understands user preferences and offers tailored recommendations.
• Natural Language Understanding: Uses NLP and Random Forest for better understanding of user queries.
• Scalability: Can be expanded to include more destinations and features.
