Abstract

This paper introduces a novel approach an AI-powered Multi-Agent System (MAS) for dynamically optimizing support to enhance real-time travel reservation-side customer experience. It has an architecture with specialized agents working together under a centralized agent manager, including natural language processing, booking, optimization, and context-aware modules. The system proposes to address common constraints encountered in traditional travel platforms: delayed response to user queries, ambiguity treated poorly, and adaptation to user preferences not incorporated. Through simulated environments and realistic use cases, the MAS enables complex travel requests to be dealt with, availability to be changed dynamically, and user satisfaction to be enhanced. The modular architecture design allows easy integration into larger smart tourism infrastructures. This study thus pushes the frontier further by merging AI, multi-agent collaboration, and user-centered design in a time-sensitive application world. Future directions include adaptive learning agents, multilingual interaction capabilities, and broadening the domain applications to hotel management and intelligent itinerary planning.
