SEO for AI Search: A Practical Guide for Tourism
By Tomahawk on
If your business isn't visible in AI search, then you're missing out on bookings
It sounds alarmist, but the reality is a growing number of travellers are now turning to AI tools to research and plan their trips - so if you aren't being recommended by AI platforms then you don't even get a look in for those bookings.
AI Search is no longer niche - it should form part of your overall SEO strategy. That's why we have put together an eBook all about AI Search - to help you understand what AI Search is, and how to give your business more chance of being visible to these platforms.
"In the US, 56% of travellers used AI for planning, booking or in-destination assistance for at least one trip in the past 12 months (March 2026), and it’s a fast growing trend - up from 43% in the second half 2025 and 33% in the first half 2025. Among travellers who have used AI, 94% have used it for travel." Source: Phocuswright
