Plans and books travel itineraries for leisure and business clients.
The travel agent market died in 2003. What's left is curation theater: 'I know boutique hotels you can't find online.' Meanwhile, ChatGPT generates five-day Rome itineraries better than 90% of existing Viator guides in 30 seconds. Kayak's algorithm beats your Rolodex of contacts. The 'human touch' survives only in ultra-luxury vertical—because wealthy clients enjoy someone else managing choices—but that's a tiny margin, shrinking yearly. Regulation of commission splits doesn't save the model.
