- ChatGPT for travel planning : influencing factors and the effect of AI hallucinationPublication . Reichardt, Jessy; Rodrigues, HelenaArtificial intelligence (AI) is considered the key technology of the 21st century and is on its way to disrupt multiple industries, including the tourism sector. As the fastest-growing consumer application in history, ChatGPT can support consumers during their travel planning process. However, a research gap concerning influencing factors of ChatGPT usage intention for tourism decision-making exists. This study aims to understand how perceived usefulness, perceived trustworthiness and AI hallucination potential influence the intention to use ChatGPT for travel planning. A quantitative methodology approach was used by conducting an online survey with 308 participants across Generation Y and Generation Z. By performing a statistical analysis, it was found that perceived usefulness directly influences the usage intention of ChatGPT for travel planning. Additional results show that AI hallucination potential and the division into Generation Y and Generation Z have no significant effect on the willingness to utilize ChatGPT in travel decision-making.
