As AI-powered search rapidly transforms how travellers research and book their next stay, the traditional marketing funnel is evolving. Being found is no longer enough. Brands must position themselves to be actively recommended by AI-driven platforms and large language models.
Join Screen Pilot for an insightful webinar as we introduce the “Route to Recommendation” framework, designed to help hospitality businesses navigate this fundamental shift in traveller behaviour.
In partnership with Hotel Marketing Association (HMA), this session will provide hospitality professionals with practical insights and actionable strategies to stay ahead of the curve, including:
- Why traditional awareness-to-conversion models are changing
- How AI and large language models are influencing travel discovery
- The difference between consideration and recommendation in AI search
- How to align guest insights, brand storytelling and guest experience with high-intent search behaviour
- Practical tactics across technical optimisation, social proof and conversion strategy
- Steps commercial and marketing leaders can take now to prepare for 2027 and beyond
