S7/E11 The Rise of Agentic AI Part 2 In the second episode of our Agentic AI Series, we’re joined by Ben M. Co-founder and COO of Maya, Michelle Denogean, CMO of Mindtrip, Inc., and Brianna MacNeil, Director of AI Products and Personalization at TravelAI™, An UpNext Company to explore what agentic AI really means for travel companies and travellers in 2026. The conversation goes beyond chatbots and content generation. We explore how AI agents are beginning to pull real time pricing, generate quotes, draft emails, build itineraries, and help solve one of travel’s biggest friction points: decision making. We also unpack AI powered discovery, GEO, traveller memory, trust, personalization, and what travel brands need to understand as AI interfaces continue to evolve. Special thanks to Maya for sponsoring this series. 👉 For more info head to: https://www.mayatravel.ai/ 💻 Watch now: https://lnkd.in/eFBMs_DZ #traveltrendspodcast #podcast #AI

Boom! 💥 "This New Site Could Rival Google Flights" That’s how Rich DeMuro opened this morning’s segment on KTLA 5 and then put Mindtrip.ai/flights to the test live on air. Instead of clicking through tabs and filters, Rich simply described what he wanted: “Find me the cheapest 10-day trip to Paris in June.” “Best lie-flat seat to Europe for seven days.” And the experience responded — not just with options, but with reasoning. - Why these flights. - What tradeoffs were being made. - How price, timing, and convenience stacked up. In a live LAX → Paris search, the results were called out as better than what he was seeing on Google Flights. But the bigger moment came in his reaction. It “takes a lot to impress me” — and this did. That’s the shift. From searching to actually deciding. Special thanks to our partners Sabre and PayPal for helping to bring discovery, decisioning, booking and payments into one seamless flow. 👉 Try it for yourself: mindtrip.ai/flights

“Music got them curious. But AI helped us prove that curiosity converted.” That line from Storm Tussey at Discover Puerto Rico really landed during this week’s webinar, “Beyond the Chatbot.” The team drove paid media to an interactive music hub and embedded AI trip planning experience — and saw an 11,600% increase in hotel partner handoffs. We also heard how putting AI to work across the marketing mix helped Visit Truckee-Tahoe increase actual visits to the destination by 51% and Wyoming Office of Tourism increase session duration by 1,636%. The takeaway from the conversation: When AI is embedded into the experience and paired with paid media, the impact shows up across every metric.
