How AI is affecting this role
- ›A Travel Promotions Manager uses Midjourney to generate photorealistic images of a 'Treehouse in Coorg' for a Facebook ad campaign, bypassing the need for an expensive photoshoot before the package is even finalized.
- ›They use a Make.com automation to pull leads from a Landing Page into Google Sheets, ask ChatGPT to draft a personalized follow-up email based on the destination selected, and send it instantly via Gmail.
- ›They utilize Excel Copilot to analyze last year's Christmas booking data, asking in plain English 'Show me the average age of customers booking for Goa vs. Manali' to tailor their Instagram ad targeting for the current season.
Ways to survive
- ›Deepen vendor relationships: AI cannot negotiate a 'net rate' or get that extra complimentary dinner at a resort.
- ›Focus on niche, complex experiences like 'Ayurveda retreats' or 'Tribal tours' which require deep human curation and trust.
- ›Master crisis communication: When a flight gets cancelled, an empathetic human call is worth more than 100 automated bot messages.
Ways to get ahead with AI
- ›Build a lead-nurturing 'agent' using tools like Manychat or Voiceflow that answers 'What is the price for 2 people in Goa?' instantly on WhatsApp, freeing you to close high-value deals.
- ›Use Claude Artifacts or similar coding tools to build simple internal calculators for dynamic package pricing without waiting for the dev team.
- ›Leverage AI sentiment analysis tools to scan social media mentions of your brand during peak travel seasons and identify PR fires before they spread.
