Connected Trip will deploy ConnectedTrip.ai, an AI engine, to revolutionize travel with enhanced personalization and management.
San Francisco, CA, United States, 26th Jul 2025 - Connected Trip, a travel technology platform operated by Asian Airfares Group LLC, today announced the next phase in its strategic roadmap with the development of ConnectedTrip.ai—a proprietary AI engine designed to enhance its existing business and leisure travel ecosystems. Launched several months ago following the success of BusinessHotels.com, Connected Trip is now evolving to integrate artificial intelligence features focused on optimizing personalization, cost-efficiency, and real-time itinerary management.
The platform builds on a proven foundation. BusinessHotels.com, Connected Trip’s original brand, surpassed $5 million in gross booking value during its testing phase and maintains an 85% user retention rate among more than 20,000 global members. Building on this momentum, Connected Trip was launched in beta mode to offer a unified travel experience—combining hotel, flight, car rental, and activity bookings—while preparing for the rollout of advanced AI-driven capabilities.
Connected Trip's Business Ecosystem is tailored to support both managed and unmanaged corporate travelers. It includes real-time itinerary synchronization, centralized profile management, automated expense integration, proactive alerts, and personalized recommendations. The ecosystem spans a suite of platforms including BusinessHotels.com, BusinessFlights.com, BusinessPackages.com, BusinessCars.com, BusinessStays.com, BusinessActivities.com, BusinessReservations.com, and BusinessVenues.com. Each is engineered for future enhancements powered by ConnectedTrip.ai—such as dynamic pricing, optimized scheduling, streamlined package creation, and improved property matching.
In parallel, Connected Trip is developing its Leisure Ecosystem, providing tools for personal travel planning, including hotel bookings, flight deals, vacation packages, car rentals, and curated experiences. Once ConnectedTrip.ai is fully implemented, the platform will analyze large-scale travel datasets to recommend the most cost-effective and convenient options in real time. Planned AI features include predictive demand forecasting, targeted provider placements, and personalized loyalty programs—all designed in compliance with global data privacy regulations.
According to the company’s leadership, these AI enhancements are being developed iteratively to align with evolving technologies and traveler expectations. “Connected Trip is built to evolve with AI, allowing the platform to become more intelligent and efficient with each new integration,” said Drago Maximov, founder of Connected Trip and Asian Airfares Group LLC. “Our long-term goal is to streamline every part of the travel experience—whether for business or leisure—through intelligent automation and seamless design.”
Connected Trip’s global infrastructure is supported by a San Francisco-based software developer and anchored by more than 250 premium travel domains. Key assets like BusinessHotels.com and BusinessFlights.com serve as core traffic drivers across international markets. Its unified architecture ensures consistent performance, robust security, and a scalable foundation for expansion into Europe, Asia, and North America.
The introduction of ConnectedTrip.ai is expected to position Connected Trip at the forefront of AI-enabled travel services. Full integration is anticipated by 2028, with select smart features rolling out as early as 2026. As the platform evolves, Connected Trip aims to redefine how travelers plan, book, and experience their journeys—through intelligent, seamless solutions.
