What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

SiteMinder’s Changing Traveller Report 2027 found that only 3.6% of Australians prefer an AI assistant for hotel bookings. In contrast, the preference for AI assistants is significantly higher in China, at 10.7%, and in Indonesia, at 9.6%. The report notes that AI readiness is shifting at different speeds across the dynamic Asian region.
