About the report
This report asks what hosts and property managers are actually trusting AI to do, how many separate systems they're running their business on, and who ends up paying when something goes wrong. The results point to operators who have moved well past experimentation. AI trust is mainstream, and hosts are ready to hand over more decisions than most software currently lets them. Meanwhile, the tools built to support them are multiplying faster than most businesses can manage, and a meaningful share of hosts are still absorbing costs, like guest damage, that shouldn't be theirs to carry.
