Mindtrip expands into Europe with AI-powered business…

Portugal and Norway’s first deals

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2023, Mindtrip is launching its platform in Europe and has announced its first two partners: Madeira Promotion Agency in Portugal and Norway Tourism Cluster in Norway. The California-based company provides conversational interfaces for destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and aims to change the way travelers discover destinations. Traditional search becomes guided discovery, with destination content (stories and local expertise) surfaced based on interests. Integrated into destination websites, the solution is designed to blend inspiration and planning in a single experience.

The experience starts with natural language. Travelers describe the type of trip they have in mind—solo or family, high-end or budget-conscious, culture-led, outdoor or relaxing—and the platform generates tailored recommendations. The recommendations come with curated images, interactive maps, contextual information and real-time guidance. When embedded on a destination website, the tool highlights lesser-known attractions, local restaurants and cultural venues while providing the planning fluidity travelers now expect.

Bet on personalization and editorial quality

The company says the direction for travel is clear: as artificial intelligence has a greater impact on travel decisions, destinations want to stay visible and relevant. Mindtrip says its goal is to align discovery with what travelers expect today through personalization and strong editorial standards. “With organic search declining, destinations across Europe are preparing for a world where artificial intelligence will increasingly influence travel decisions and turning to Mindtrip as the decision-making layer,” said Andy Moss, CEO of Mindtrip. “Mindtrip gives DMOs more control over how they are discovered and showcased, while creating new opportunities for local businesses to showcase authentic experiences. This is what modern travelers crave today.”

Most recently, the company launched Mindtrip Flights, an all-in-one agent booking experience Developed with Saber and PayPal and as a first in its field. The approach integrates inspiration, flight comparison and payment into a conversation-driven interface, helping travelers evaluate complex itineraries and complete bookings in real time.

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2023, the company relies on proprietary artificial intelligence and a proprietary knowledge base to provide personalized recommendations.
