TourRadar presents AI Discovery for ChatGPT, Instagram, and developers
Global organised adventure platform TourRadar announced the launch of its new artificial intelligence integrations suite AI Discovery on Monday, 15th September. AI Discovery is a suite of AI-powered integrations that reimagine how travelers discover and book multi-day tours. With 50,000+ adventures from 2,500 operators, including global brands like G Adventures, Intrepid Travel, Contiki, and Globus, TourRadar is connecting the rise of AI travel assistants and social commerce to one of travel’s highest-value and fastest growing categories. Meeting the challenge of evolving traveller behaviour Skift Research’s US Travel Trends 2025 report shows that the global travel industry is at an inflection point. Currently, 70 percent of US travellers say they are likely to use an AI-powered assistant to book and manage trips; however, 87 percent want to retain decision-making control. At the same time, around 52 percent of travellers say they’d book travel through social media if exclusive deals are offered, while 44 percent cite trust and 40 percent secure payments as key drivers. The launch of TourRadar’s AI Discovery directly responds to these needs, giving consumers discovery via social platforms and AI assistants, while giving the industry the infrastructure layer to support it. According to TourRadar co-founder and chief executive Travis Pittman: “Travellers are telling us they want inspiration from social media and guidance from AI, but they also want trust, transparency, and control.With AI Discovery, any surface can become a gateway to organized adventures. We are not just digitizing inventory, we are transforming it into an infrastructure layer that powers the future of AI-driven discovery and social commerce.” Indeed, TourRadar has spent more than a decade building the industry’s most comprehensive multi-day tour platform, aggregating and connecting operators, agents, creators, and travelers through its marketplace, channel manager, APIs, mobile app, and payments. With AI Discovery, it extends that ecosystem to where travelers already dream, scroll, and chat. What sets AI Discovery apart from the competition? MCP Server: A first-of-its-kind integration that makes TourRadar’s inventory directly accessible to LLMs, OTAs, and developers, opening the door for seamless AI-powered bookings in platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. ChatGPT Integration: A CustomGPT Assistant that lets travelers and partners explore any organized adventure in natural language, moving from idea to curated options instantly. Instagram Integration: Built on Google’s Vertex AI, TourRadar’s Trip Recommender for Instagram turns reels into instant booking opportunities for multi-day tours, bridging the gap between inspiration and transaction. That said, these are the reasons as to why AI Discovery is highly relevant now: Consumer momentum: AI assistants are on the rise, but travelers demand control. TourRadar’s approach enables AI-powered discovery without losing trust and choice. Social commerce shift: As U.S. travelers show growing intent to book on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, TourRadar connects content-driven discovery to bookable multi-day tours. Industry infrastructure: By making its inventory accessible via MCP, TourRadar reduces the friction Phocuswright warns about, enabling future-ready distribution. Rich media discovery: Travelers increasingly expect video-first content on social platforms. With TourRadar Moments, the company has evolved its mobile app to capture raw-thentic reels, which are then showcased across the platform and extended to AI assistants and distribution partners. While most LLMs cannot yet display video, Moments are tied to tour listings, ready to enrich discovery as soon as rich media becomes available.
Four Instagram-Worthy NCL Cruise Destinations
Elba island, Portoferraio aerial view. Lighthouse and fort. Tuscany, Italy, Europe. A week is all it takes - your fine taste in choosing the world’s best cruise destinations and your photographer’s eye for capturing their beauty can transform a quiet social media feed from non-existent to absolutely blowing up! From chasing golden light across the horizon from your ship’s deck, to waiting for the perfect angle to capture breathtaking wildlife in Alaska or experiencing charming cities and postcard-perfect coastlines - sailing aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) fleet isn’t just about hopping from one iconic destination to the next, it’s about capturing moments in time and sharing it with the world, one photo at a time. Here are four destinations where the photographer in you will find the perfect frame every second: Landscape Photography: Iceland If you’re drawn to otherworldly landscapes and surreal natural beauty, Iceland is the destination for you. Picture waterfalls tumbling through moss-covered cliffs, dramatic black sand beaches, steaming geothermal fields and the ethereal glow of northern skies. Sailing with NCL offers photographers the chance to capture Iceland’s cinematic scenery without the hassle of multiple land transfers. Explore ports like Reykjavik and Akureyri, where volcanic terrain, bubbling geysers and serene glacial lagoons promise striking contrasts and once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities. NCL’s 10-15-day itineraries aboard Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Star are available in September, offering cooler weather, extended daylight hours and crisp, clear air —ideal conditions for landscape photographers chasing the magic hour. Plus, a range of departures is scheduled for the Northern Hemisphere summer of 2026 & 2027, giving you even more opportunities to plan your perfect photo-filled escape. Architectural Photography: Mediterranean If architecture excites you, look no further than Norwegian Cruise Line’s 9- to 11- day Mediterranean sailings, departing from iconic cities like Rome, Barcelona, Lisbon and more. From ancient ruins to seaside citadels, every stop feels like a film set waiting to be captured. Frame the grandeur of the Colosseum, stroll past the Leaning Tower of Pisa and photograph the sweeping piazzas of Florence or the Baroque balconies of Valletta. Sip a cappuccino in Rome, wander the pastel-hued streets of Marseille and wrap up your day with a rooftop sunset in Barcelona. Whether it’s Gothic cathedrals or Renaissance courtyards, the Mediterranean delivers timeless backdrops in every direction. September to November is a dream season for photographers: softer light, fewer crowds and milder weather mean more time to focus on arches, alleyways and angles-the details that define a truly captivating shot. Wildlife Photography: Alaska If you’re a wildlife photography buff, few places offer the kind of raw, untamed beauty of Alaska. Capture bald eagles in flight, humpback whales breaching icy waters, and even grizzly bears along rugged shorelines. These late summer to autumn shoulder-season sailings - available through October - are perfectly timed for clear skies, crisp air and unforgettable natural encounters. With Norwegian Cruise Line’s 7-10 day itineraries aboard Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Joy, you’ll sail from Seattle through iconic ports like Glacier Bay, Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway, each a living postcard waiting to be framed For those travelling with family, NCL makes the journey seamless - with panoramic decks, glass-walled lounges, and onboard naturalists who narrate the scenery as you sail. Plus, with value-driven offers like Kids Sail Free and More At Sea™, you get the best of adventure and affordability - your camera roll is guaranteed to be full. Cultural Photography: Asia If you’re the kind of photographer who’s drawn to the buzz of cities, bustling streets, human stories and rich traditions, Asia is your frame. NCL’s immersive 9-14 day itineraries aboard Norwegian Sun and Norwegian Spirit take you through a kaleidoscope of cultures from the neon-lit alleys of Tokyo to the ancient serenity of Kyoto, the floating markets of Thailand to the golden rooftops of Bangkok. Capture monks walking in line at dawn, steaming bowls of pho on a Hanoi street corner, or the intricate carvings of temples in Cambodia. Ports like Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur offer a constant stream of visual stories - bold, layered and alive.

The result of over two years' work, this fragrance reveals an additional sensorial experience that enhances the company's identity.

Social online casino PlayFame analysed over 23 million Instagram posts featuring location-specific hashtags for 83 Emily in Paris filming locations. These were then ranked to determine which locations are the most popular on Instagram. The Eiffel Tower has been crowned the most picturesque filming location from Emily in Paris, with 12,992,611 posts. It wouldn’t be right if a series with Paris in the title didn’t feature a ton of scenes with the city’s most iconic landmark. From Emily snapping her first selfie in the first episode to the fancy client dinner at the Eiffel Tower’s Michelin-starred restaurant in season three, the Eiffel Tower is a significant presence throughout the series. Adult tickets for the Eiffel Tower start from approximately $15.55. Taking second place is Notre-Dame, with 4,416,444 posts. While filming season three, the famous cathedral was covered in scaffolding for renovation after the shocking fire in 2019, but there are no signs of scaffolding or fire damage in shots of the cathedral in season three. Notre-Dame reopens its doors to visitors on December 7th and 8th this year. Securing third place is Arc de Triomphe, with 1,428,527 posts.

It features twice in season four and once in season one when Emily spends a day exploring the sights of Montmartre with Mindy. Entry to the Basilica is free. In fifth place is Musée d’Orsay, with 508,252 posts.

Emily found herself at the canal snapping some selfies after being let go by her bosses, Silvie and Madeleine, in season two.

The Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich ranks fourth, with 25,510 posts featuring its hashtag (#oldroyalnavalcollege) on the social media platform. This World Heritage Site provides the setting for Mayfair Market and other shots during the Bridgerton story. In fifth place is Wrest Park in Bedfordshire, with a total of 20,616 posts using its hashtag #wrestpark. Although already featuring in Bridgerton, Wrest Park will be the magnificent home to the Fuller family in Season 3. Painshill Park in Surrey takes the sixth spot, with 20,002 posts using the hashtag #painshill park. While this filming location served as the backdrop for a Featherington family picnic, it will reappear in the new season where new character Lord Hawkins will attempt to prove that flight is possible with hot air balloons… Following in seventh place is Luton Hoo Estate, with a total of 17,120 posts featuring its hashtag #lutonhoo. This stunning country estate appears throughout the show and for the upcoming season will provide the exterior of the printing press and Bridgerton family garden. Wilton House is the eighth most Instagrammable spot in Bridgerton Season 3, with 13,568 posts on the platform. Located in Wiltshire, the country house has appeared plenty of times throughout Bridgerton. Golda Rosheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte, has even said that Wilton is her favourite place to film and that “it feels like home”. In ninth place is Basildon Park in Berkshire, with a total of 10,857 hashtagged posts on Instagram. The grand country house has previously appeared in Bridgerton as the Featherington’s family garden but will feature more in the upcoming season as the home of Lady Tilley Arnold – a brand-new character. Completing the list is Holburne Museum in Bath, with 6,954 posts using its hashtag. Bath is an iconic location in Bridgerton, with the Royal Crescent featuring throughout the seasons in carriage drive-bys, Penelope’s window and the exteriors of Mayfair. The Holburne Museum is the setting of Lady Danbury’s house and is due to reprise its role in the new season. Marc Porcar, CEO of QR Code Generator commented on the findings: “The incredible reception of the first two seasons of Bridgerton has led to fans eagerly anticipating Season 3. “Bridgerton showcases some of the country’s most beautiful historic buildings, which are clearly popular among tourists, those local to the spot, and fans of the show. This list of the most ‘Instagrammable’ destinations may inspire your next sight-seeing trip or help you discover where your favourite scenes are filmed in the show, with some being right on your doorstep perhaps.”
