Uber Is Coming for STR. Airbnb Has an AI Agent Coming.
lundi 28 septembre 2026 • Durée 34:28
On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Brandreth Canaley, Michael Goldin, and Jamie Lane recap sessions from Skift Global Forum that every STR operator should be paying attention to.
First up is Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, who confirmed that Uber plans to add vacation rental content through its Expedia Group integration and that 80% of its hotel bookings already come from UberOne members — demand that bypasses Google entirely.
Then the crew gets into Brian Chesky's commitment on stage to launching an Airbnb AI agent in 2027, which he called the most important product the company has ever built, and what that means for how STR listings get discovered and recommended going forward.
Airbnb Said ‘Forget Hotels.’ Now It Wants Them Everywhere.
mercredi 23 septembre 2026 • Durée 30:14
On this episode of Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Sarah Dandashy, Katie Cline, and Brandreth Canaley are on the ground at Skift Global Forum to unpack Airbnb’s increasingly serious push into hotels and what it could mean for the balance of power in hotel distribution.
Airbnb now has nearly 4,000 hotels using its new listing format, is reportedly charging some operators a 13% commission, and is funding a 15% guest credit as it tries to prove it can bring hotels incremental demand instead of simply shifting bookings away from Booking.com, Expedia, or direct channels. The bigger question: If Airbnb’s endgame is eventually “hotels everywhere,” how different does it remain from the OTAs it once positioned itself against?
Then the conversation expands beyond Airbnb into what Sarah and Brandy heard across day one of Skift Global Forum week, including conversations from the Creator Summit, Live Tourism Summit, and the broader themes shaping where hospitality and travel are headed.

lundi 21 septembre 2026 • Durée 25:11
On Monday's episode of Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Brandreth Canaley and Michael Goldin, recording from GuestyVal in Madrid, open with breaking news: StayTerra has acquired Gather Vacations, adding Hawaii, California, and Washington to its portfolio and surpassing 2,000 properties under management.
Then they share their live session with Amiad Soto, CEO and co-founder of Guesty, recorded on stage at GuestyVal. Amiad announces Guesty's acquisition of Smily, its eighth acquisition to date, and makes the case that consolidation in the PMS space is only accelerating. He talks about Guesty's 65-plus AI agents live today, why what used to take a year to build now takes a week, and his belief that the best property managers of the future are not necessarily the biggest ones. He also shares why AI slop is really just human slop in disguise and what it actually takes to get great output from the models everyone is using

They debate whether today’s AI models are actually good enough, where operators should automate versus keep humans in the loop, how AI changes hospitality jobs, and why trust may determine how quickly the industry can adopt it.
Plus, Vered shares how Guesty is already restructuring its own teams and workflows around AI.

They dig into Sponsored Listings and the economics of paying for premium search placement, new pricing and promotional tools, One Key member deals, Expedia package distribution, and whether AI-powered search is already changing how travelers discover vacation rentals. Tim also addresses concerns around hosts effectively buying their way up search results, Vrbo’s new Host with Confidence program, and why Expedia continues investing in Escapia as the property management technology landscape becomes increasingly competitive.
It’s a look beyond the product announcements at how Expedia Group is building a broader demand, merchandising, and technology ecosystem around professional vacation rentals.
