The next travel influencer isn't a person… It's a conversation.

"Conversational commerce is more than 'just' a tech trend for the travel industry; it's a generational leap," said Jen Catto, Chief Marketing Officer at Sabre. "It will collapse the distance between desire and delivery, turning complexity into conversion and transforming every traveler into their own influencer. Talk is no longer cheap. It's AI-powered and driving revenue."

The whitepaper outlines a compelling vision for the future of travel retailing:

• Social commerce inspires travel purchases. Conversational commerce will convert. While social platforms spark wanderlust, they fall short on trust and infrastructure. Agentic AI closes the gap, turning intent into action in seconds.
• AI is expanding the market. Over half of travelers using agentic AI discover options they wouldn't have found otherwise, signaling true demand creation, not just share shift.
• The storefront is changing, and agentic AI is the new UI. Travel won't just be sold on websites and apps. It will be co-created in chat windows, voice assistants, and AI agents.
• Trust will be the new currency. As AI adoption accelerates, transparency, governance, and data integrity will separate leaders from laggards.

With this shift, it's finally the travel industry's turn to lead the next digital revolution. Sabre is driving this transformation to a new frontier.

Through its SabreMosaic™ platform, Sabre is deploying enterprise-grade AI built on Google's Vertex AI and Gemini solutions, powered by Sabre's industry-leading curated travel data cloud. Its Sabre IQ AI Layer personalizes interactions at scale, while its IQ Assurance Layer ensures outputs are explainable, secure, and compliant.

"Sabre isn't just responding to change, we're setting the pace," said Garry Wiseman, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Sabre. "We're building the platforms to turn conversations into commerce, and commerce into loyalty. This is travel retailing reimagined – from static search to dynamic, personalized dialogue."

The paper calls on travel brands, retailers, and suppliers to act now: embrace conversational interfaces, rethink merchandising, and build for trust. As traveler expectations evolve, the winners will be those who meet them inside the conversation with speed, relevance, and confidence.
