Travel planning is now one of the most common things people ask AI to do. We find the gaps in what it knows, close them at the source, and measure every week.

Why it matters

Your destination is already being described. Just not by you.

Your website is the authoritative source for your destination, built to showcase the places, experiences and local gems you want travellers to discover. But it was never built for a world where AI needs structured, machine-readable data to answer travellers’ detailed questions. AI answers anyway, using whatever information it can find. What comes back may be incomplete, outdated or simply wrong.

Traveller prompt

“Where should I take my family for three days in October? We want a direct flight from London, somewhere on the coast, a hotel with a heated pool, activities for teenagers, good local food, and a proper cigar lounge for my husband.”

“For a coastal trip in October with a direct flight from London, I would look at Vall d’Orsa or Puerto Sella. Both have family hotels with published opening hours and good information about what stays open out of season.”

What we actually change

You can’t control AI’s answers. You can influence the data behind them.

Every week the same traveller questions go to the same four AI assistants. What comes back sorts into three buckets, and two of them turn straight into collection work.

“Which hotels in Miralta have a heated outdoor pool that is actually open in October?”

Answered, and correct
Nothing to do

Pool heating and seasonal opening are confirmed on 22 properties and the answer matched every one of them.

No action

“Which hotels in Miralta have connecting rooms, a kids’ club for under-6s, and step-free access throughout the property?”

Nothing to answer with
Collect family and access fields

Eleven properties hold no data on connecting rooms, kids’ club ages or step-free routes. Agents open a WhatsApp thread with each operator, in their own language.

Queued · 11 suppliers

“Which beachfront hotels in Miralta still offer childcare in October, and until what time?”

Answered, but out of date
Re-confirm seasonal childcare hours

Three properties changed their out of season hours since the last check, so the record is re-confirmed directly with the supplier and updated at the source.

Queued · 3 suppliers

84 golden prompts, run weekly against four AI assistants. The score tells you where you stand. The queue is what moves it.

The Result

Same question, six months apart.

Miralta is a fictional destination, so the venues are altered and the numbers are fabricated. On a live engagement it is your destination and your suppliers.

Traveller prompt

“Which hotels in Miralta have connecting rooms, a kids’ club for under-6s, and step-free access throughout the property?”

Day 0

“For families in Miralta, Hotel Miralta and Costa Azul Resort are both good options. They offer family-friendly facilities and are well located for exploring the destination.”

0 of 58 suppliers named · destination site not cited

Hotel Miralta data depth31 data points
Month 6

“Hotel Miralta meets all three requirements. It has 14 connecting room combinations, a supervised kids’ club for ages 3–6 open daily from 9am to 6pm, and step-free access from arrival through the lobby, restaurants, pool area and accessible guest rooms.”

Hotel Miralta data depth186 data points

Our agents work continuously, adding, validating and updating data. Six months later, AI has stronger data to work with and can give more accurate answers to the questions travellers actually ask.

How we fill the gaps

The answers live with the operator. So we go and ask.

Is the infinity pool heated in October? Which rooms connect for families? Does the kids’ club take one-year-olds? Which nights have live music? The details travellers ask about often live only with the operator. We ask the person who knows, in their language, on the channel they actually reply on, and we log where every field came from.

Where we start

What can AI find on your website? That’s where we start.

Before a single supplier is contacted we read the destination’s own site the way an AI crawler does. Six checks, no opinion in any of them. This is the first page of a real report.

Let AI crawlers reach the site

All 8 AI crawlers tested were served the homepage.

Pass
Audit robots.txt

robots.txt allows every retrieval agent tested to read the site root.

Partial
Serve the content in the way AI wants

9 of the 26 pages read leave their content to JavaScript. A crawler that does not render sees an empty page where the venue listings should be.

Fail
Deepen schema.org markup

No page carries Place or TouristAttraction markup, so no venue on the site has a machine-readable identity.

Partial
Drive depth of knowledge via FAQs

Only 3 of the 26 pages answer a question directly under a question-shaped heading.

Unknown
Be findable by Bing

Nothing blocks Bing, but whether the site is verified and indexed cannot be established from outside. Bing is the crawler behind most ChatGPT search citations.

The audit says whether a machine can read your destination. The visibility score says whether it does. Fixing the first is a few weeks of engineering; the second is the six months of collection work above.

What we do

We turn your tourism ecosystem into data AI can access and use.

Four steps, in order, and every one of them measured against the baseline we captured before any of it started.

01 · ASSESS

Start with what’s already there

We assess the businesses already on your website against the detailed questions travellers ask AI and identify what information is missing.

02 · COLLECT

Straight from the suppliers

Agents reach operators on WhatsApp, email and phone, in their own language. Provenance on every field, bounded by opt-out and cooldown rules.

03 · DISTRIBUTE

Published in the forms machines read

Structured to a shared supplier taxonomy, with stable identities, and pushed to the surfaces assistants actually retrieve from.

04 · MAINTAIN

The continuous accuracy loop

Our agents continuously validate and update the data as things change, keeping the information AI can use current and accurate.

The Shift

Travellers moved to AI faster than tourism ecosystems could adapt.

62%

AI adoption

Travellers have already used AI to plan or book travel.

59%

Visibility drives consideration

Travellers begin planning without a single destination decided. What gets recommended shapes which destinations they consider visiting.

Up to 80%

Local economic dependence

Travel & Tourism is built on SMEs and local businesses. Their visibility determines where tourism spend will flow.

73%

Recommendation impact

Recommendations influence what travellers ultimately book.

The gap we close

The information travellers now ask for was never built for AI to read.

84 traveller questions

Run weekly against four AI assistants.

Gaps identified

We pinpoint what is missing from the answers.

Answers collected from the source

Operators provide the missing information directly.

Direct operator access

Reached on the channels operators actually answer: WhatsApp, email, phone.

Website Audit

Before a single supplier is contacted, we read your site the way AI crawlers do. Six checks, no opinion in any of them. This is where every engagement starts.
