Listen Later

Google introduced new travel-related AI tools at its developer conference, including smart glasses for real-time translation and navigation, and a more advanced AI Mode for complex search tasks. A Skift analysis revealed that over three dozen U.S. lawmakers and their spouses have actively traded stocks in travel companies such as Booking Holdings, Marriott, and Airbnb, totaling nearly 600 trades since 2021. Additionally, Hotels.com launched a chatbot trip planner with helpful filtering features, though it has limitations and some technical issues.
