The travel industry is entering a new era where technology and creativity work together to redefine how people explore the world. AI-powered travel planning is at the core of this shift, enabling smarter, more personalized, and more meaningful travel experiences. This vision strongly aligns with the ideas of Meenu Hinduja and Dheeraj Sudan, a London-based couple who combine their shared passion for travel with technology-driven innovation.
Meenu Hinduja, a passionate travel blogger with a B.Tech from Bengaluru, believes that travel should be personal, authentic, and story-driven. Her vision for smart tourism focuses on using AI to enhance—not replace—the human side of travel. She imagines intelligent travel tools that help travelers discover hidden gems, local cultures, and offbeat experiences tailored to individual interests. For Meenu Hinduja, AI is a creative companion that helps travelers plan better while still leaving room for spontaneity and emotional connection.
Dheeraj Sudan, a skilled software developer with an MCA from London, brings the technical perspective to this vision. He sees AI-powered travel planning as a way to eliminate common travel frustrations such as poor planning, information overload, and unexpected costs. By using data analytics, machine learning, and automation, Dheeraj envisions platforms that generate real-time itineraries, predict expenses, optimize routes, and adapt instantly to changes. His goal is to make travel planning efficient, stress-free, and accessible to everyone.
Together, Meenu Hinduja and Dheeraj Sudan represent the future of smart tourism—where creativity meets code. Their shared vision highlights how AI can empower travelers, support sustainable tourism, and improve experiences for both visitors and destinations. As AI continues to evolve, smart tourism will no longer be a concept of the future, but a reality shaped by innovators who understand both technology and the soul of travel.
