This week we cover five stories that help us understand hotel distribution, technology, and guest expectations in 2026.

First, six travel trends are creating new revenue segments and challenging traditional models – from the £500 billion pet economy to attribute-based room pricing that finally lets hotels monetise individual features. Second, the meetings and events sector is repositioning from cost centre to business investment, bringing procurement scrutiny to group sales decisions.

Third, we examine the existential threat agentic commerce poses to OTAs, and what it means for hotels dependent on third-party distribution. Fourth, the UK travel industry's £2.68 billion technology spend reveals where the sector is placing its bets, with Agentic AI moving from experiment to execution.

Finally, Minor Hotels' research on 906 travellers shows a fundamental shift in priorities – 86% now prioritise quality time with family, 47% factor sustainability into booking decisions, and 53% book within three months of departure.
