Description
World Cup travel demand is falling short of expectations as international visitors stay home, Delta quietly made its credit card a better deal while every other airline raises fees, and a top hotel tech founder says the industry is using AI to solve the wrong problem.
On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down why the international tourist windfall host cities were promised isn't materializing, how Delta's Amex card expansion is a masterclass in playing the loyalty game right, and why hotels cutting costs with AI are missing the bigger opportunity sitting right in front of them.
