Teenva AI & Digital Ventures builds AI travel recommendation engines for OTAs, travel agencies, and travel portals from Bangalore, India. Show the right hotels, flights, packages, activities, and upsells to each visitor—based on search context, booking history, preferences, and live inventory from your travel API integration—not random popular destinations blocks that ignore margin and availability.
Recommendation AI increases conversion, average order value, and repeat bookings when ranked results respect business rules (markup, contracted hotels, stock) and privacy. Teenva combines ML ranking, LLM explainability, and tight coupling to your OTA stack.

What AI travel recommendations do
| Placement | Example |
|---|---|
| Homepage | Trending for you destinations and deals |
| Search results | Re-rank hotels/flights by fit + margin |
| Product detail | Travelers also booked… packages |
| Cart / checkout | Seat upgrade, insurance, airport transfer upsell |
| Post-book email | Activity and hotel add-ons at destination |
| B2B portal | Preferred supplier nudges for sub-agents |
| Mobile push | Price drop on watched routes (scoped) |
Outputs are SKUs from your inventory—IDs your booking engine can price and book—not hallucinated properties. Built for travel portals and OTAs.
Recommendation types
| Type | Signals |
|---|---|
| Collaborative | Similar users booked X after Y |
| Content-based | Star rating, amenities, location match stated prefs |
| Contextual | Dates, party size, device, referrer campaign |
| Sequential | Next best action after flight book → hotel |
| LLM rerank | Natural language why this fits on top-N candidates |
| Business rules | Min margin, promote contracted hotels, exclude stale rates |
We avoid black-box-only models—the rules layer keeps finance and supply teams in control.
