Commissioned by Amadeus, the YouGov survey asks over 2000 Spanish adults about their experiences, concerns, and ideal use cases for Generative AI to improve their travel experience.


Results reveal that a human-centered approach is key to the successful adoption of Generative AI in the travel industry.


In just two years since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT, Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) has become a fundamental part of our everyday lives. This technology—which creates original text, images and other media based on prompts—has the potential to redefine how we experience many things in our lives, and travel is no exception. In Spain alone,Statista, the global data and business intelligence platform has projected the AI market size to grow annually by 28.46% between 2024 – 2030, resulting in a market volume of S$12.45bn.


But how do Spanish travelers really feel about the Generative AI-powered innovations emerging in the marketplace? How have they used it so far, what do they like, what are their concerns, and how would they like to use it in the future? This new Amadeus report, titled“How can AI make travel work better? A survey from the Spanish traveler’s perspective”,answers these questions to pave a path for the future of innovation in travel, making travel work better for everyone.
