3 new ways to plan and book travel in Search

Google has introduced three new features to its AI-powered search tool that allow users to generate customized travel itineraries and book flights or hotels directly through the platform. By integrating booking capabilities into search results, Google is shifting its tool from an information-gathering resource toward a functional travel agent. This update indicates a broader strategy to retain users within the Google ecosystem throughout the entire trip-planning process rather than directing them to third-party travel sites.
