OpenAI Shifts Focus from Direct Hotel Bookings to Search and Product Discovery, Keeping AI in Control

🏖️ March saw OpenAI shift focus from direct bookings to search and product discovery, maintaining control over hotel recommendations but relinquishing the booking process. This left four intermediaries between resorts and guests: OTAs control data, wholesalers affect margins, advisors retain loyalty, and AI maintains decision power.
