Abstract: This study aims to cultivate an initial understanding of travelers' engagement with generative artificial intelligence (GAI) during the travel planning phase. It focuses on its influence on decision-making and intentions for continuous usage in planning tourism activities. Utilizing the stimulus-organism-response framework and domain literature, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews (UK) and scenario-based questionnaires (USA). The study reveals complex aspects of travelers' behavior, uncovering that while GAI recommendations mitigate the risk of information overload, their influence does not necessarily streamline decision-making. Trust and information retrieval skills surfaced as moderate determinants of the relationship between recommendations and information overload. This work is a pioneer in empirically exploring and quantifying continuance intentions of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) usage, contributing novel insights to electronic Word of Mouth and decision-making literature.
