Travel’s agentic shift: Who is winning in AI search within Travel?
The way travellers discover the world has fundamentally changed. We have moved from offline agents to online research, and finally to the "online agent" era where ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini act as personal concierges. In this session, we explore why being #1 on Google no longer guarantees visibility when AI agents are the ones making the recommendations. Using exclusive data from Profound, we will show you how to transition from keyword buying to building the context that AI needs to choose your brand. It is time to bridge the visibility gap and ensure your organisation is ready for the agentic shift.

About the event
For a decade, the goal was simple: rank #1 on Google. Today, your potential customers have a private travel planner at their fingertips, and they are using LLMs to build entire itineraries in seconds. If a German traveller asks an AI for a three-day Stockholm itinerary, is your brand part of the answer?
In this deep dive, James Perrott (SEO & AEO Director at Precis) breaks down the agentic shift and what it means for travel and hospitality. We will debunk the myth that AI traffic is negligible - addressing why a "1% traffic" mindset is a dangerous preconceived notion - and explore how shifting user context, including political climates and safety concerns, is reflected in LLM-driven research.
You will learn how to bridge the visibility gap using a practical roadmap focused on data readiness. By ensuring your data is clean, structured, and machine-readable, you enable AI agents to find and book your services effectively. We will also examine how to capture high-value international customers who rely on these tools to navigate foreign markets. Join us to move beyond traditional SEO and future-proof your digital presence for the era of answer engines.
