Download the app so you can better connect with travelers around the world. Since this interview with Matt, Pangea has been on a roll, acquiring and integrating several other Digital Nomad & Travel Community apps into their core platform. Their general thesis and strategy is that by consolidating the very fragmented consumer travel app space, they can deliver a best in class experience and become the all in one platform that many are referring to as the "Strava for Travel" So far they've integrated Overlap & Nomadago, two leading community apps, bringing together nearly 50,000 users who have downloaded one of these apps into their core Pangea platform.

In questa puntata de “Il Futuro del Turismo, Data Appeal Byte-sized Trends” partiamo da una settimana decisamente particolare per il travel tech. Tra vulnerabilità software sugli Airbus, partnership strategiche sull'AI e nuovi modelli per esperienze e nomadi digitali, proviamo a capire cosa sta cambiando davvero nel modo in cui il viaggio viene progettato, venduto e vissuto.Il cuore della puntata è la visione di Google presentata al Phocuswright Conference 2025 di San Diego. Con Gemini e AI Mode, la ricerca viaggi passa dalle keyword ai racconti completi: non cerchiamo più “hotel a Dublino 3 stelle”, ma descriviamo il viaggio che vogliamo fare, e un agente AI orchestra voli, hotel, mappe, contenuti e prezzi reali. Entriamo nei dettagli dell'agentic booking, del ruolo dei partner come Booking ed Expedia e di come cambierà il passaggio da ispirazione a prenotazione.Nella parte finale restiamo a San Diego con gli spunti raccolti da TravelPulse sul day 2 del Phocuswright. Parliamo di come short term rental, hotel e servizi ancillari si stanno riposizionando, del calo del turismo verso gli Stati Uniti e di cosa significa tutto questo per chi si occupa di destinazioni e ospitalità. Il filo conduttore resta lo stesso: l'AI non sostituisce il turismo, ma diventa il modo in cui il turismo viene scoperto, filtrato e organizzato.Link citati in puntata:Google AI per la pianificazione dei viaggi in Search: https://blog.google/products/search/agentic-plans-booking-travel-canvas-ai-mode/Intervista a Google su AI Mode e agentic booking (Phocuswright): https://www.phocuswire.com/phocuswright-conference-2025-executive-interview-james-byers-googlehttps://youtu.be/r1XJNX5xriE?si=j40GJD_ftUjLWd3eApprofondimento su booking in AI Mode: https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Travel-Technology/Hotel-and-flight-bookings-coming-to-Google-AI-ModeHighlights dal Phocuswright Conference 2025, parte 2: https://www.travelpulse.com/news/technology/part-2-highlights-from-the-phocuswright-conference-2025
È un momento particolare per raccontare il turismo, perché sta cambiando con una rapidità che fino a poco tempo fa avremmo considerato impossibile. Le piattaforme di viaggio generano itinerari in tempo reale, le compagnie aeree abbandonano la carta, le città progettano "vertiporti" per i taxi volanti, gli hotel iniziano a usare agenti AI per operazioni e assistenza, e alcune destinazioni definiscono protocolli digitali per far collaborare sistemi intelligenti lungo tutto il ciclo del viaggio. Parallelamente, l'intelligenza artificiale sta facendo un salto altrettanto profondo. I modelli ragionano meglio, apprendono nuove competenze al volo, diventano piattaforme aperte e cominciano ad agire in autonomia. Tra modelli da un trilione di parametri, framework open-source e agenti capaci di negoziare e operare sul web, emerge un ecosistema dove l'AI non si limita a rispondere: prende iniziative. In questo episodio esploriamo come queste due traiettorie si intrecciano. Il risultato è un turismo più intelligente, adattivo e costruito su interazioni che assomigliano sempre più a quelle con un vero compagno di viaggio.LINKSTrip.com Unveils AI Travel Planner Tool – Globetrender→ https://globetrender.com/2025/11/16/trip-com-unveils-ai-travel-planner-tool/Saudi Summit Spurs $113 Billion Tourism Investments & AI Travel Protocol – Cyprus Mail / TradeArabia→ https://www.tradearabia.com/News/330457/TOURISE-debuts-Agentic-Tourism-Initiative%2C-pioneering-protocol-for-intelligent-travel/Ryanair Ditches Paper Boarding Passes for Digital-Only Travel – Euronews / RTE→ https://www.euronews.com/travel/2025/11/10/ryanair-will-only-accept-digital-boarding-passes-from-november-heres-what-travellers-need-to→ https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/1112/1543483/ryanair-paperless-boarding/Amex GBT Upgrades Egencia with Agentic AI Search – Business Travel News→ link non ancora verificato con esattezza; richiede ulteriore ricercaAmenitiz Raises $45 M to Bring AI to Independent Hotels – HotelTechReport / PhocusWire→ https://hoteltechreport.com/news/amenitiz-raises-45m→ https://www.phocuswire.com/amentitiz-raises-45-million-dollars-series-bAlibaba's Fliggy Pivots to “Omni-Intelligent” AI Travel Agents – Travel Daily Media→ link originale non trovato; necessaria ricerca alternativaAbu Dhabi to Build 10+ Vertiports for Flying Taxis – Khaleej Times→ https://www.khaleejtimes.com/transport/abu-dhabi-vertiport-air-taxi-2026Mews Envisions “Agentic AI” Transforming Hotel Operations – Breaking Travel News→ https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/agentic-ai-for-hotels-mews-outlines-the-future-of-intelligent-hospitality/OpenAI Releases GPT-5.1 with Enhanced Reasoning and Tone – The Verge / TechCrunch→ https://www.theverge.com/news/802653/openai-gpt-5-1-upgrade-personality-presetsOpenAI DevDay: ChatGPT Becomes a Platform – S&P Global / OpenAI Blog→ https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-1/Anthropic “Skills” e Google AP2: AI Agentiche in collaborazione – Google Cloud Blog / VentureBeat→ https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/announcing-agents-to-payments-ap2-protocol→ https://venturebeat.com/ai/googles-new-agent-payments-protocol-ap2-allows-ai-agents-to-complete?utm_source=chatgpt.comAnt Group Open-Sources First Trillion-Parameter AI Model – BusinessWire→ https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251009240721/en/Ant-Group-Unveils-Ling-AI-Model-Family-and-Launches-Trillion-Parameter-Language-Model-Ling-1TMicrosoft Copilot's Fall Update Brings Mico – The Verge→ https://www.theverge.com/news/804106/microsoft-mico-copilot-ai-assistant-clippy
