For this next generation of travel advisors — the much-analyzed Gen Z, the oldest of whom are turning 30 next year — the challenges are real.

They’ve inherited the threat of artificial intelligence and a world marred by COVID and geopolitical risk. But the opportunities are considerable.

Travelers still want to spend (and at the very top of the market, they’re spending more than ever), but they’re also becoming more deliberate about how, when and where they go.

More than 700 people packed the fifth annual Virtuoso Travel Tech Summit, proof that technology is no longer a side conversation for travel agencies.

Bilt is making a significant push into travel advisor technology with the launch of Bilt OS for Hospitality, a new operating system designed to bring many of the disparate tools advisors use into a single platform.

The new platform combines hotel and air booking, an interactive itinerary builder, commission tracking through Sion, client management tools and an “agentic concierge” designed to provide clients with around-the-clock support while keeping the travel advisor at the center of the relationship.

Travel loyalty programs built their reputations on a simple promise: Fly or stay often enough, and a free flight or hotel night is yours.

That promise still holds, but the strongest programs are now stretching well beyond airline seats and hotel rooms, letting members earn and spend points on luxury cruises, cultural experiences, concert tickets, and everyday lifestyle purchases.
