deciqAI Travel Advisor — Trip Contingency Planning
Industry front door for scenario-planning. Adds domain triggers, example, packs only. Parent Process unchanged. Guidance, not professional advice. No legal, tax, financial or regulatory advice; verify anything jurisdiction- or rate-dependent against current authority. The professional who acts owns the decision.
Activate when: building a complex/high-value itinerary; multi-supplier or international trip; hurricane/advisory season; client asks "what if something goes wrong?"; designing a group/FIT trip. Do NOT activate when: single refundable booking with trivial exposure.
Why this variant
The parent scenario-planning builds several plausible futures and a response to each. Travel disruption (weather, strike, supplier default, advisory, illness) is a scenario problem: the advisor's value is having the rebooking/refund path ready before it's needed.
Domain inputs → parent's Process
Build 3–4 scenarios and a pre-staged response:
- Weather/force-majeure cancellation → rebooking + insurance claim path.
- Supplier default/insolvency → protected-booking (ARC/IATA, card chargeback, insurance).
- Travel advisory / entry-rule change → reroute or postpone.
- Medical / missed-connection → assistance line + coverage. For each: who the advisor calls, what the client is owed, what's documented.
Worked example
7-night Caribbean, cruise + air + hotel, September. → Scenario "named storm diverts sailing": pre-agree with client the rebook window, insurance trigger, and the air-change fee owner. Documented at booking → a 2 a.m. disruption becomes a scripted action, not improvisation.
Compliance anchors
- Disclose cancellation/refund terms and insurance role at booking; keep the disclosure record (supports E&O defense).
Packs
- Solo: one-page "if X then Y" contingency card attached to each complex trip.
- Agency: supplier-default and advisory playbooks shared across advisors.
Red flags
- No insurance discussion documented on an exposed trip.
- Single points of failure with no rebooking path.
- Advisories ignored at planning time.
Verification
- Top 3 disruption scenarios named with a response each
- Insurance role disclosed & recorded
- Fee/refund ownership pre-agreed with client
- Assistance contacts in the trip doc
