Welcome to the Journey: Why AI Matters for Travel Marketing Now
In order to go forward, it is important to look backwards.
John McCarthy first used the term AI during a summer research project in 1956 at Dartmouth. But there are earlier instances from 1943, when McCulloch and Pitts were working on neural networks, and then, of course, Alan Turing’s concept of a “thinking machine” in 1950.
Artificial Intelligence is not a new concept, but rather a continuous line of innovation over the past 75 years. Since the first use of AI was used to play chess in 1952, we thought playing a game here would be the perfect way to learn and pay homage to the roots of artificial intelligence.
Sticks and stones won’t tell you how to make fire.

Visibility used to follow a familiar pattern: search, rankings, clicks, visits. That structure is starting to shift. AI doesn’t just retrieve pages. It assembles responses. Instead of presenting a list of links, it’s interpreting information and building answers. That changes how destinations appear—and whether they appear at all. Being present online is no longer the only requirement.

Clarity is starting to play a different role. Not just in messaging—but in visibility. As AI systems interpret and assemble information, they favor content that’s easy to understand and easy to use. That creates a subtle shift. Destinations compete on clarity and speed—who makes sense fastest gets the decision.
