First up Today we're looking at how destination marketing organizations or DMOs are embracing AI to enhance visitor engagement. First up, we see booking.com leaning into nostalgia and family travel with its Morticia Books It Right campaign. You using Catherine Zeta Jones as Morticia Adams to blend humor, cultural familiarity and vacation planning. For property managers, this signals that broad appeal, multi generational targeting and family focused stays remain key for attracting bookings through the platform. Meanwhile, we observe Airbnb shifting toward a lifestyle and experiences focused approach, highlighting curated activities, local services and cultural collaborations like K Pop, dance classes and personal chefs. For property managers, this suggests that positioning listings to appeal to experience seeking travelers and offering value added services can differentiate their properties in a market increasingly defined by personalization and memorable stays.
