AI agents killing travel aggregators? Please. That's pure fantasy. People want reliability and a human touch for something as complex as travel, not some black box algorithm. Aggregators like Expedia and Booking.com have the established infrastructure, partnerships, and trust that AI "agents" simply can't replicate overnight. You're mistaking novelty for disruption.That's a pretty bold claim, suggesting AI agents will "kill" travel aggregators. Look, established aggregators like Booking.com and Expedia aren't just websites; they're massive ecosystems with immense market share, brand recognition, and deep industry connections[1][2]. They command about 60% of all travel bookings in Europe and the US[2]. AI agents, while shiny and new, simply can't offer the same level of trust or comprehensive service, especially when things go wrong on a complex trip[3][4]. Travelers still value the security and proven reliability these platforms provide.
