[0018] The term “Machine learning techniques” are a set of methods and algorithms that enable computers to learn patterns from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. These techniques include supervised learning (training with labeled data), unsupervised learning (finding patterns in unlabeled data), reinforcement learning (learning through rewards and penalties), and deep learning (using neural networks to process complex data). Machine learning techniques are widely used in applications such as image recognition, natural language processing, recommendation systems, and fraud detection.
[0019] The term “Natural Language Processing (NLP)” is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language. It involves techniques such as text analysis, sentiment detection, language translation, and speech recognition to facilitate human-computer interactions in a natural and meaningful way.
[0020] The term “Parallel processing techniques” refers to methods used to divide a computational task into smaller sub-tasks that can be executed simultaneously across multiple processors or computing units. These techniques improve processing speed, efficiency, and performance in complex computations, such as large-scale data analysis, machine learning, and real-time processing applications.
[0021] The term “Payment gateways” are services that securely process and authorize online payment transactions between users and financial institutions.
[0022] The term “Pre-Trained Machine-Learning Model” is a model that has been previously trained on a large dataset to recognize patterns, make predictions, or perform specific tasks. Instead of training a model from scratch, it can be fine-tuned or directly used for similar applications, saving time and computational resources while improving accuracy and efficiency.
[0023] The term “PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)” is a global standard that ensures the secure handling of credit card information by businesses. The term “Sentiment Analysis Techniques” refers to methods used to analyze and interpret the emotional tone, opinions, or attitudes expressed in text data. These techniques leverage natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and computational linguistics to classify sentiments as positive, negative, or neutral, helping businesses and applications understand user feedback, reviews, or social media interactions.
[0024] The term “SMS (Short Message Service)” is a text messaging service that allows users to send and receive short text messages over mobile networks. It is a widely used communication method that supports up to 160 characters per message in standard format.

[0026] The above definitions are in addition to those expressed in the art.
[0027] BACKGROUND
[0028] The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art.
[0029] In the current scenario, travel is typically planned by travel planners and agencies, which generally provide users with fixed, pre-configured plans (preplans) that offer limited flexibility and personalization. Conventional travel planning systems, including digital platforms and mobile applications, are commonly utilized to assist users in organizing trips. These existing systems typically provide pre-configured itineraries and generic recommendations relating to destinations, accommodations, activities, and dining options. While such systems offer a foundational framework for travel planning, they are generally characterized by static architecture and limited adaptability. In particular, traditional systems predominantly employ predefined templates with minimal scope for user input, resulting in low levels of personalization and the provision of generalized content that does not align with individual user preferences or dynamic travel scenarios. A significant limitation of existing systems resides in their inability to respond to real-time conditions. Such systems commonly fail to deliver live updates pertaining to traffic congestion, weather variations, or localized disruptions, such as road closures, public gatherings, or unforeseen venue unavailability. For instance, a user may plan an itinerary involving a specific route or attraction without receiving timely alerts regarding traffic congestion or venue closure, thereby leading to potential delays or suboptimal experiences. Moreover, existing systems typically do not notify users about the current operational status of intended destinations — such as whether a hotel, park, historical site, or restaurant is closed, under renovation, or otherwise unavailable — until the user physically arrives at the location, thereby impairing the overall travel experience.
[0030] From a technical perspective, current travel planning systems generally lack integration with live data sources, including traffic application programming interfaces (APIs), weather data feeds, and real-time venue information from official sources. These systems do not facilitate dynamic itinerary generation in response to evolving travel conditions or based on personalized user constraints, such as individual interests, mobility speed, or financial budget. Furthermore, conventional systems exhibit limited interoperability, often lacking integration with auxiliary services such as transportation bookings, event ticketing, or sustainable travel options. Enhanced features, including virtual exploration, artificial intelligence-based route optimization, or user engagement mechanisms such as referral incentives, are also typically absent. Additionally, these systems are prone to data obsolescence and inaccuracy due to insufficient synchronization with authoritative data sources. Consequently, users are frequently left with inflexible, outdated, and impersonal travel plans that necessitate manual modifications and lack contextual responsiveness.
[0031] Therefore, there is felt a need for an automated travel planning system and method that alleviates the aforementioned drawbacks.
