Tourism is one of the major revenue earners for any country. Many countries growth depends mostly on their tourism industry-generated income. While exploring, many tourists sometimes face some situations where they are not able to reach out other locals of the place for help because there is a problem in the communication or sometimes are majorly not aware of the place. The travellers need to plan their trips well in advance keeping their time and destination in mind. Sometimes, in a hurry, they tend to forget some places for their trip and regret later. This happens when there is no proper planning for the trip. Keeping an eye on all these issues, we introduce goTripper Chatbot. This is an application which is build using OpenNLP (natural language processing) which makes it possible for the bot to understand natural language human text/voice input and initiate further work. It includes technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence which helps the bot learn of its own and become smart enough to respond back to the user with time. This not only resolves the communication problem people face but also have different features which are required by a tourist when he/she is on their trip. It also provides the user with a scheduled plan of the trip that he/she may follow. Being a ChatBot, it will be easy to use with minimum work efforts required, time efficient and is very economical.
