We bring together voices from across the travel and tourism industry for honest conversations about what's working, what's not and what's next. * * * Media: https://go.mindtrip.ai/the-ai-readiness-gap ## The AI Readiness Gap: Research shows travelers are AI-ready. Is your destination? Jeremy Cooker (New Orleans & Company), André Miller (Bahamas Ministry of Tourism) and Laura Speicher (Tourism Economics) join Mindtrip CMO Michelle Denogean to unpack a first-of-its-kind study showing 54% of travelers already use AI for trip planning, while just 22% of destination organizations offer it on their websites. Together they explore how traveler behavior is changing, what destinations are doing in response and what they’re learning directly from travelers as they put AI into practice. * * * Media: https://go.mindtrip.ai/brand-usas-first-year-of-ai ## Brand USA's First Year of AI: From 15,000 Conversations to Traveler Intelligence Janette Roush and Chelsea Benitez (Brand USA) unpack the trends, patterns and traveler behaviors that emerged in the first year of their AI-powered trip planning experience on VisitTheUSA.com — where travelers from 35 international markets have had nearly 15,000 planning conversations, giving Brand USA a rare window into what international visitors are actually looking for. * * * Media: https://go.mindtrip.ai/beyond-the-chatbot ## Beyond the Chatbot: How DMOs Are Putting AI-Powered Trip Planning to Work Across Their Marketing Mix Storm Tussey (Discover Puerto Rico), Tracy Weingard (Visit Truckee-Tahoe) and Blake Dinkelman (Travel Wyoming) pull back the curtain on how they're putting AI to work across their entire marketing mix — from paid campaigns and email to blog content and new site builds.
