Fifteen years ago, hotels lost control of distribution to OTAs because they underestimated the shift. This episode of 10 Minutes Hotels, made in collaboration with Cendyn, asks whether the same thing is now happening with AI.

When travelers ask ChatGPT or Gemini where to stay, they get one synthesized answer. If a hotel’s brand positioning is unclear or generic, AI will define it using OTAs, reviews and third-party content.

In this video

  • Why AI is a structural shift for the hospitality industry
  • How hotels risk losing control of their narrative again
  • The difference between SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
  • How to stay competitive in an AI-driven landscape
