Podcast: Singaporeans aren’t as influenced by TV. Biggest travel myths. Using AI to improve connected trips.

On this week's episode, Trip.com's "Momentum 2025" report highlights key travel trends for Singaporeans, including food-focused tourism, media-inspired destinations, cruise popularity, and entertainment-driven trips, emphasising social media's influence. Expedia's "Air Hacks Report" debunks common air travel myths, revealing optimal booking times, travel days, and dispelling notions about summer costs, premium fares, and crowded flights. 

Then, we cover how OAG's Filip Filipov discussed the need for a more customer-centric connected trip experience, advocating for data sharing and AI to enhance personalization and overall journey support. Filipov highlights the transformative potential of AI, particularly OpenAI's Operator, for revolutionising the travel agent role and loyalty programs.

We're trying something new with our weekly-ish podcast - we're outsourcing it to Artificial Intelligence. This is both an experiment and, if we're being honest, a convenient way to digest the top articles of the week from the WiT website into a nugget-of-a-podcast. We'll release a new episode every other Monday as a way to catch-up with last week's biggest news and articles from the WiT website.
