The present invention relates to a travel planning system and method that enables users to customize trip recommendations through real-time, soft-ranking of personal preferences and dynamically generated explanations. Unlike traditional itinerary generators that rely on fixed parameters or opaque algorithms, this system allows travelers to indicate relative importance for various factors such as budget, luxury, pace, interest type, and proximity via an interactive user interface. An adaptive AI engine ingests the soft-ranked preference weights and applies them to a dynamic scoring matrix that generates a prioritized set of recommended options across accommodations, activities, dining, and transit. Each recommendation is accompanied by a transparent, real-time explanation that clarifies why it was selected, referencing the user's weighting decisions and the trade-offs made. This invention improves traveler trust, decision-making clarity, and itinerary satisfaction by enabling nuanced control over preferences and making AI decision logic fully visible to the user.
