GenAI will not replace travel agents; rather, it will improve their efficiency so they can spend more time creating personalized experiences that connect with travelers

While some industries have been caught off guard by the impact of AI on traditional practices, the travel industry has anticipated this shift. Travel leaders have already incorporated personalized marketing, predictive pricing, deep analytics and e-commerce into their operations. Now, generative AI is introducing powerful new capabilities in these areas and beyond, offering exponentially greater impact.
