On this week’s episode, our AI hosts discuss current trends and opportunities within the tourism and hospitality sectors, based on a couple of reports that were highlighted last week on the Web In Travel website. One report by Booking.com spotlights Singapore-based travellers’ growing awareness of tourism’s social and environmental impact, indicating a preference for supporting local communities and a desire for better infrastructure to manage tourism’s challenges rather than limiting visitor numbers.
Another report by Mabrian examines the Middle Eastern hospitality market, emphasising the need for strategic development in mid-range hotel options and a realignment of guest expectations with different hotel categories to improve competitiveness and attract broader international tourism.

We’re trying something new with our weekly-ish podcast – we’re outsourcing it to Artificial Intelligence. This is both an experiment and, if we’re being honest, a convenient way to digest the top articles of the week from the WiT website into a nugget-of-a-podcast. We’ll release a new episode every other Monday as a way to catch-up with last week’s biggest news and articles from the WiT website.
