Summary
At a round table at the IFTM trade show, travel industry executives detailed the impact of AI on how their companies are organised. Erwan Corre, co-founder of Worldia, says his company has cut its headcount by 40% thanks to AI while maintaining revenue and customer satisfaction, and expects a European consensus of a 25% drop in staffing needs within 2 to 3 years. Charles Tandonnet (Travelsoft) describes a shift in which AI becomes the driver of the business and humans move from the role of executor to that of controller, citing vibe coding and guided content generation. Valérie Boned, president of Entreprises du Voyage, points to the difficulties young graduates face in entering the job market, as the research tasks once given to juniors are now absorbed by AI.
