Hotels Flag AI Booking Risks, Sabre Builds Agentic Chat, Tripadvisor Traffic Slips
Hilton and Marriott warn that AI platforms could disrupt direct bookings, Sabre partners with PayPal and Mindtrip to enable fully conversational “agentic” trip booking, and Tripadvisor reports continued traffic declines as AI search overviews reshape discovery.
On today’s Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down how hotels are bracing for chatbot-driven distribution, why conversational planning is moving toward real transactions, and what shrinking search traffic means for travel brands built on the old funnel.
