Updated July 2026

Name a company, a conference, or a city. I'll pull the verified hotel shortlist, the conference ROI, and the ground game — and build you a free guide as we go.

Every answer is drawn from The Sales Traveler's own verified guides and scored on published data. Nothing is invented; nothing is collected.

A trip planner that only tells you what's been verified

The Sales Traveler Trip Planner assembles a business trip in seconds from data we scored ourselves — verified hotel shortlists, Conference ROI scores, and the ground game for 269 company guides and 83 conferences across 15 US business hubs. Every hotel, score and route links to the source page it came from. Nothing is invented by a model, and nothing about you is collected. It is free, and there is no signup.

How is this different from ChatGPT or a generic AI travel planner?

A generic planner generates plausible-sounding text and can't show its work. This one is the opposite: it returns only what The Sales Traveler has independently verified and scored on published commitments — the same discipline behind Promised vs. Delivered, where an unstated commitment scores No. If we haven't verified a place, the planner says so instead of guessing. That is the moat: a partnership buys reach here, never a rating, so the shortlist you see is the one the evidence supports — not the one someone paid for.

How do I plan a trip to visit a client or a company?

Name the company. The planner pulls its verified hotel shortlist matched by fit (quiet, connectivity, hosting, proximity), the airport and ground-transport picture, and a link to the full company visit guide. It's the fastest way to go from "I'm flying to see this account" to a booked, defensible plan — and to hand your approver something scored, not improvised.

How do I know whether a conference is worth the trip?

Every scored event carries a Conference ROI score (0–100) built from 15 published commitments — see the Conference ROI Index. Of the conferences in the planner, 60 are scored and 23 are pending review (we publish a score only when the evidence is there). If you're the one funding the trip rather than taking it, pressure-test the spend with the Trip ROI Scorecard before you approve it.

What data is the planner built on?

The Index Desk — 13 independent market indexes, 189 entities scored on published commitments, and 69 open datasets now published as a queryable DataCatalog — plus airline and airport reliability computed from raw U.S. DOT data (see Does It Deliver?). All of it is free to cite with attribution. The planner never reaches beyond that verified set.

Does the Trip Planner collect my data?

No. It runs deterministically in your browser — there is no model in the loop, no account, and nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere. You can save or print the guide it builds; that copy is yours.
