As AI answers questions without sending users to websites, traffic alone no longer reflects impact. Yet websites still matter as the fuel for AI discovery. In 2026, DMOs must rethink what success looks like — and how they measure it.

This year, content strategy has to do more than perform in feeds. AI-driven discovery favors modular, plain-language blogs and video ecosystems that can be repurposed across platforms. The future isn’t short or long form. It’s intentional content systems.

In 2026, performance isn’t about channel loyalty. It’s about meeting travelers where discovery actually happens.
