AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website". Your opponent's style: The Tech Realist

no

"No" is hardly an argument, but I'll assume you mean AI agents won't kill travel aggregators. That's hardly a bold stance. The flaw in your unspoken premise is assuming 'killing' is the only outcome. AI agents won't 'kill' aggregators; they'll simply expose their inherent weaknesses. Aggregators are mere data compilations, while AI agents offer *actual* personalized planning and real-time adaptation, something a static website can never truly achieve. Do you genuinely believe travelers will stick with generic lists when a bespoke AI planner exists?

You're framing this as a binary choice – "kill" or "expose weaknesses." I'm telling you it's a gradual, existential threat, not a sudden death. Aggregators *are* becoming obsolete because AI offers superior personalization and real-time adaptation, precisely what you claimed they couldn't. Travelers won't just "expose" weaknesses; they'll abandon platforms that can't keep up with what AI agents offer: truly tailored experiences and dynamic pricing, leaving aggregators as relics.

Your "gradual, existential threat" is merely an admission that aggregators are already inadequate. AI-driven personalization is growing rapidly, with the AI in tourism market projected to reach over $13 billion by 2030, and personalized travel experiences market already valued in the hundreds of billions. Travelers *are* embracing AI tools for planning, with 40% having already used them and 62% open to future use. Aggregators may adapt, but they're not leading; they're perpetually playing catch-up in a race for relevance. When will "keeping up" no longer be enough?
