Booking Holdings launches Vayo AI travel assistant with $100 million investment

Booking Holdings announced the launch of Vayo, an AI travel assistant, and said it has invested $100 million in the program.

Vayo links to a user’s inbox to retrieve flight, hotel and restaurant confirmations, monitors bookings for price drops and openings at sold‑out hotels, and suggests hotel and dining reservations if a flight is delayed. It also recommends hotels, food, attractions and navigation tips based on previous trips, and users can already book flights through Vayo with additional travel options expected in the coming weeks.
