Using Your Automated Emails To Front-foot The Next AI Innovation

As AI-driven tools like Google Gemini Personal Intelligence begin to understand travellers’ plans, preferences, and timelines directly from their inbox, the way tourism operators communicate is quietly becoming more important.

This doesn’t mean operators should flood guests with longer emails. It means emails need to carry clear, useful signal – the kind that helps both humans and AI understand what’s actually happening.

‍

More Detail Isn’t the Goal – Better Signal Is

Before we go any further – optimising for AI does not mean stuffing in more content, and Personal Intelligence tools will not simply reward longer emails.
They reward clarity, context, and relevance.

A useful test: If a guest asked an AI assistant about their trip, would they find the clearest, most accurate answers in their inbox?

If yes, you’re already on the right path.

‍

So, What Tour-Specific Information Actually Helps?

1. Clear, Factual Details

High-signal details include:

• Tour name and type
• Date, time, and duration
• Meeting location
• What’s included (and what isn’t)
• Physical requirements
• Weather considerations
• What to bring

These details help both guests and AI systems recognise: “This email relates to a real, upcoming experience.”

2. Language That Mirrors Guest Questions

Emails work best when they sound like your best guide, not a brochure.

Phrasing like:

• “If you’re wondering whether this tour is suitable for kids…”
• “A common question we get before arrival…”
• “If the weather changes, here’s what happens…”

creates natural question<>answer pairs that are easier for guests (and AI) to surface later.

3. Timing That Matches the Journey

Specific information is most useful when it arrives at the right moment:

• Post-booking: reassurance and clarity
• Pre-arrival: preparation and expectations
• Day-before: confidence and reminders
• Post-experience: reinforcement and feedback

Personal Intelligence tools prioritise what matters now. Well-timed emails naturally carry more relevance, and help Personal Intelligence understand the experience arc.

‍

Gemini’s Personal Intelligence can (and likely will) use tourism emails to make travel-related recommendations and suggestions, so operators who write emails like a calm, organised guide are setting themselves up well — not just for better guest experiences, but for an AI-assisted travel future.

And the operators who pair great emails with scalable AI support? They’ll feel effortless to deal with — which is exactly what travellers (and their AI assistants) will prefer.

Just remember, the goal isn’t to say more.
It’s to say exactly what matters, at the moment it matters — and to support it with systems that grow with your business.
