Here’s the new reality: AI assistants now synthesize reviews and web content into hotel summaries that travelers see before they even visit your own booking engineBooking engineA booking engine is the tool that lets guests book directly on the hotel's own website. It shows availability, prices and takes the payment with no middleman. It is the key piece for winning direct bookings and saving.... That snippet on Google or the description in a chatbotChatbotA chatbot is a program that converses with the guest by text or voice to solve questions or guide a booking. The old ones followed rigid scripts, today's use language models and sound natural. Done well it takes load... response? It might be written by an algorithm, not by you. And it's shaping first impressions faster than any marketing campaign.
