    Marriott CEO: AI Agents Threaten OTAs, Not Hotels

    Marriott International CEO Anthony Capuano said in a Wall Street Journal Leadership Institute interview that autonomous AI booking agents pose a real threat to OTA market share, but less so to big hospitality brands. He argued OTAs spent billions marketing the 'myth' that consumers must use third-party platforms to find lowest rates, while AI agents can interact directly with hotel reservation systems, removing the intermediary. Capuano emphasized hotels control the stay, a 'wide and deep moat.' Marriott is undergoing a multi-billion-dollar tech transformation replacing three legacy platforms, enabling dynamic merchandising and potentially AI-agent bookings.

Amperity co-CEO Derek Slager advises hotels to build an identity resolution layer across systems, combining deterministic and probabilistic signals, continuously updating profiles; provide external LLM engines with minimal, current, and consented context via APIs, not raw data; and adopt a hybrid architecture that reduces data movement while maintaining governance.
