Summary

The article discusses how the rise of AI-powered travel search tools (like ChatGPT and Layla.ai) is transforming the hotel industry.

The shift represents a major technical upheaval, with 35% of French people already using AI to find hotels, forcing the hospitality industry to adapt to new visibility requirements.
