The COVID 19 Pandemic had an enormous negative effect on the travel industry, and although tourism is getting back on its feet , now customers increasingly expect reliable recommendations about not only COVID 19 but also other health and safety issues, as well as weather and crime rates.
Solution
XEXEX.io is a travel recommendation engine based on ML that can be embedded in 3rd party websites.
The back-end of the platform retrieves data coming from various reliable sources which include information not only about COVID-19 but about other diseases, security and weather. This tool also takes into account the type of journey: a solo leisure trip, a business trip, a family trip, etc.
Results
With XEXEX, end-users and travel companies can predict within a 2-months window, the quantified risk associated with specific dates and destinations, encouraging people to travel, and boosting client trust and satisfaction.
Support
Gijón Impulsa is a public institution that awarded Bedrock with a grant financed by the Ayuntamiento de Gijón. This grant allowed to partially support the development of XEXEX.
