#25 - AI Agents Are Here: Tourism's Biggest Shift Yet

Peter and Kendel break down the biggest AI announcements reshaping tourism and hospitality in 2025. From Microsoft's new AI agent routing in Copilot to OpenAI's instant checkout feature, the travel booking landscape is transforming overnight. Learn why direct bookings could finally disrupt OTAs, how social media became the new search engine for travelers, and why McKinsey says AI adoption is about culture, not technology. Plus: Sam Altman's AGI predictions and a heartwarming story about robots creating jobs for paralyzed workers in Japan.Whether you're a DMO, hotel operator, or tourism professional, this episode explains what these changes mean for your business—and why search everywhere optimization (GEO) just became non-negotiable.
