Predicted travel intent
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing a recommendation and/or a travel interface based upon a predicted travel intent. For example, a set of user signals (e.g., search queries, calendar information, social network data, etc.) may be evaluated to determine the predicted travel intent for a user to travel to a destination. A recommendation may be provided based upon the predicted travel intent. For example, images, news stories, advertisements, events, attractions, travel accommodation (e.g., hotel, car, and/or flight reservation functionality) and/or other information and functionality associated with the destination may be provided through the recommendation. The recommendation may be provided through an alert, a mobile app, a website, a travel interface, and/or a variety of other interfaces. The predicted travel intent may be used to modify information provided by a website, an operating system, and/or apps (e.g., a news app may display information about the destination).
1. A method for providing a recommendation for a travel destination, comprising:
evaluating a set of historical user location data associated with a device of the user to determine a location of a first user hub;
evaluating a set of user signals associated with a user to identify a potential travel destination and a future travel date;
determining a travel distance to the potential travel destination based on the location of the first user hub;
determining the travel distance exceeds a predetermined threshold distance; and
based on the travel distance exceeding the predetermined threshold distance, determining the predicted travel intent for the user to travel to the potential destination; and providing a recommendation based upon the potential destination and the future travel date.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the predicted travel intent further comprises evaluating a set of user signals comprising:
locational information associated with a device of the user.

a flight search query;
a hotel search query;
a location search query;
an attraction search query;
a business search query; or
an event search query.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the predicted travel intent further comprises evaluating a set of user signals comprising at least one of:
a message associated with the user;
a phone number called by the user;
a social network post;
user browsing history;
content marked by the user through a social network;
a calendar entry; or
user created data.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing a recommendation further comprises:
displaying the recommendation through at least one of an operating system welcome screen, an operating system user interface, a mobile app, a website, a search engine homepage, or a carousel interface.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing a recommendation further comprises:
identifying a user interface comprising a set of information interfaces; and
selectively replacing at least one information interface of the set of information interfaces with the recommendation.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recommendation comprises at least one of:
a photo, extracted from a social network, associated with the destination;
an image associated with the destination;
a news story associated with the destination;
an event at the destination;
an advertisement for a business associated with the destination;
a website link to a web site;
an app link to a mobile app;
a social network link to a social network profile of an entity associated with the destination;
an attraction at the destination; or
travel task completion information.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a travel interface populated with the recommendation.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
populating the travel interface with a confirmable question as to whether the predicted travel intent is correct.
11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
populating the travel interface with at least one of:
weather information for the destination;
an attraction interface for the destination, the attraction interface comprising at least one of an attraction name, an attraction description, or an attraction image;
a travel accommodation interface for the destination, the travel accommodation interface comprising at least one of a travel accommodation name, a travel accommodation description, or a travel accommodation image;
a selectable interest interface associated with an interest;
a travel date input interface;
a travel route planning interface;
a configuration interface; or
a supplemental information interface.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
evaluating the set of user signals to identify a set of potential travel locations;
performing clustering relative to the set of potential travel locations to create a location cluster, the location cluster comprising two or more potential travel locations of the set of potential travel locations; and
identifying the potential travel destination based upon the location cluster, the potential travel destination corresponding to one or more potential travel locations within the location cluster.
13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
utilizing a global approximate travel timeline to determine the future travel date; and
tailoring the recommendation based upon the future travel date.
14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
evaluating the set of historical user location data associated with the device of the user to determine a location of a second user hub; and
wherein determining the travel distance to the potential travel destination is further based on the location of the second user hub.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the predicted travel intent further comprises utilizing a classifier and a travel training dataset to assign an intent to travel score to the potential destination above a travel threshold.
16. A system for providing a recommendation based upon a predicted travel intent, comprising:
at least one processor;
a memory storing instructions that are configured to, when executed by the at least one processor, perform the following actions:
evaluate a set of historical user location data associated with a device of the user to determine a location of a user hub;
evaluate a set of user signals associated with a user to identify a potential travel destination and a future travel date;
determine a travel distance to the potential travel destination based on the location of the first user hub; and
if the travel distance exceeds a predetermined threshold distance, provide a recommendation based upon the potential destination and the future travel date.
