OTA players, big tech, and Google I/O keep announcing major updates. It’s hard to keep up. And it should terrify tour operators. Or excite them. Depends on how you play it. Tripadvisor’s CEO just… | Ari Adnan Cibari | 23 comments

  • 28 February 2026
🌐 Tripadvisor's CEO reports ongoing declines in "flyby visitors" due to AI overviews. OpenAI partners with Expedia and Booking.com. Google launches Project Mariner, an AI agent for browsing, price monitoring, and booking. Only 15-25 million people pay for AI subscriptions, while 1.3 billion use free tools, leaving over 6 billion untouched by AI. Tour operators need direct booking systems and AI-friendly websites to stay relevant. AI commoditizes generic travel, increasing the value of bespoke experiences.

Asset-light only works if someone else owns the asset. And that’s the concern.

  • David Eisen
  • 27 February 2026
🏨 At ALIS 2026, IHG Hotels & Resorts CEO Elie Maalouf highlighted the dependency of asset-light hotel companies, like IHG, on asset-heavy owners.

Over five years, hotel REITs declined by -9.5%, while the S&P rose by 74% and lodging companies like Marriott and Hilton increased by over 110%.

Why hotel brands are betting big on this underdeveloped coastline in Mexico

  • Guest Contributor
  • 27 February 2026
🏖 Jalisco, Mexico, experiences significant hotel investment, with over $1 billion across 38 projects planned by 2028. Costalegre, a 150-mile Pacific coastline in Jalisco, attracts luxury brands despite its remote location and limited infrastructure. Key developments include Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo (opened 2022) and upcoming projects like Six Senses Xala and Chablé El Tezcalame, both slated for 2027. Costalegre's low-density approach values scarcity, long-term asset appreciation, and environmental conservation, contrasting with Guadalajara's rapid hotel growth.
