In this brand new episode we talk to one of the pioneers of bringing the OTA model to the multi-day tour market in Travis Pittman from TourRadar.
I wanted to talk Travis because TourRadar is not an AI native business but it absolutely is an AI forward business.
I had heard stories of how Travis had spearheaded a culture within the business around exploration and experimentation with AI and wanted to see both how he went about it and what the results were.
We also don't hear often enough from companies who are buying AI technology and having seen that TourRadar had recently onboarded external AI tech into their business, wanted to know what that process was like and why the eventual vendor was chosen.
I hope this type of knowledge can help businesses like those listed in the Everything AI in Travel marketplace.
