TRIPPULSE: Multi-Agent Travel Planning with Review-Grounded Reasoning

arXiv:2608.30924v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Travel itinerary generation requires balancing strict spatio-temporal constraints with human preferences. Existing LLM-based planners mainly rely on structured attributes and pre- defined traveler personas, but real travel deci- sions are often shaped by reviews that reveal experiential factors such as comfort, safety, ser- vice quality, ambiance, crowding, and hidden risks absent from structured databases. Incor- porating such review information is therefore critical to realistic, user-centric itinerary gen- eration. We propose TRIPPULSE1, a multi- agent framework for review-grounded travel planning. Instead of relying on a monolithic planner (and face context and reasoning bot- tlenecks), TRIPPULSE2 decomposes itinerary generation into specialized agents (each op- erating over localized contexts) for accom- modations, transportation, meals, attractions, and events, coordinated through a global or- chestrator with scheduling mechanisms that enforce temporal and budget feasibility. We augment TRIPCRAFT with 100K+ real-world reviews and introduce Review-Grounded Per- sona Alignment (RGPA), an LLM-as-a-Judge metric for evaluating alignment with human- centric travel experiences. Experiments across multiple trip durations and diverse proprietary and open-source models show that TRIPPULSE maintains strong constraint satisfaction while generating more personalized and experien- tially grounded itineraries.
