Dynamic Pricing and Revenue Management Generative AI plays a powerful role in optimizing pricing strategies in the travel industry . With dynamic pricing becoming more prevalent, AI algorithms can analyze variables such as demand, seasonality, competitor pricing, and even social media sentiment “I believe that AI will have a major effect long term in the ‘unseen’ aspects of AI use. Specifically in dynamic algorithms used for client communications in marketing and customer service. This includes which products to focus on, what call to action is most effective for that specific customer, and more. While generative AI is a part of that, it is the advancement of personalization based on history and behavior that will rock the world. In the meantime, the use of generative AI will be in the communication/writing functions that advisors use daily, which adds to professionalism and leads to a better work/life balance!” – Scott Koepf, Chief Strategy Officer, Cruise Planners
