In this companion podcast to the Everything AI in Travel weekly newsletter, we speak to the makers, shapers and buyers of AI technology in the travel inustry.
In this episode of Everything AI & Travel, I sit down with Robert Cole (Rock Cheetah) — Cornell hotel grad, ex-Four Seasons marketing leader, Sabre/Travelocity-era hotel distribution veteran, and a longtime Phocuswright analyst.
We get practical on what “AI readiness” really means for travel businesses:
Why digital identity becomes the foundation for the agentic world
The difference between traveler identity vs hospitality entity identity (hotel ≠ just a building…)
Why “standards” are hard in travel (and why the tech world solved this decades ago)
How Robert uses Claude / Gemini / OpenAI (and his “reasoning gauntlet” to rip drafts apart)
What small operators should do now (security, schema, sources of truth…) before agents arrive
If you’re a hotelier, tour operator, DMO, or travel tech builder trying to understand what’s coming next — this is one to save.
