The travel market continues its upward trajectory in 2026 as demand for leisure and business trips grows. With that rosy forecast, the industry is on pace to create 126 million new jobs by 2036 which is also good news in economic circles. To use a cliche, the current travel landscape is a double edged sword with labor demand far outpacing supply and a potential 8.5 million jobs unfilled over the next decade. Hiring challenges for travel businesses still exist in the post-pandemic world as the quality and quantity of entry level candidates remains low. This is a serious concern for the travel industry as the market itself is full of opportunities and not maximizing each guest interaction can be leaving significant revenue on the table. Using the latest in AI technology, travel businesses can train workers faster and more effectively, ensuring high performance and maximizing each of those valuable guest engagements.
