Why it matters

How will guests discover and book hotels in 2027?

AI is reaching customers through search habits they already have.

More guests will encounter AI in familiar search tools.

AI can shape what guests learn about you from a branded search.

As AI gets better customers won't feel the need to search beyond the recommended shortlist they are presented by AI.

What you'll learn

The six trends

01

Search will start before the search box

Agents will start to proactively recommend hospitality businesses based on known preferences and needs

02

The AI “generation gap” will narrow

More guests will encounter AI in familiar search tools

03

AI visibility will become much more measurable

Visibility • Accuracy • Bookings

04

Hotels will join the AI conversation.

Hotels will have the ability to be more involved during the discovery phase in ChatGPT

05

The booking is in the detail.

Detailed answers will help hotels make the shortlist of recommendations

06

From discovery to transaction

AI will start to handle the transaction in significant numbers

What to do

The booking is in the detail

Greater levels of published detail can represent a significant competitive advantage

Explain why the product's great for them. Explain what you've considered about their needs. Explain how you've changed things over time based on feedback.

  • Make sure your website is compliant with agentic browsing.
  • Reduce inconsistencies and ambiguity about your business and the service it offers.
  • Identify key guest types and prepare answers for every conceivable question guests ask about staying with you
  • Create detailed content specifically about your key guest types.
  • Double down on managing rate parity.
  • Ensure you have good GA4 tracking in place to identify AI mode bookings

  • Own or operate a hotel or hospitality business
  • Lead marketing for a hotel or hospitality group
  • Want to understand how AI is changing customer discovery
