Artificial intelligence has emerged as a new key player in hotel distribution, transforming the way customers search, compare, gather information, and book. Conversational chatbots, new recommendation dynamics, and shifts in the decision-making process are redefining the balance between the customer, OTAs, and hotels. This roundtable examines how this landscape is changing, the implications for each stakeholder, and how to adapt sales and distribution strategies so that technology becomes a win-win opportunity rather than a threat to profitability and customer relationships.
