New Podcast: Mennan Yelkenci on taking big B2C swings in AI + Travel

By Tony Carne

Mennan Yelkenci isn’t afraid to take a swing at the big prize in travel

Mennan Yelkenci from BookedAI is a man on a mission. Mennan believes that generative AI can be so transformative from a UI and UX perspective that by perfecting these elements, you can win the B2C battle in travel.

And he may not be alone. Sabre this week released a report that said pretty much the same thing – although very much focused on chat and chatbots.

Mennan has some different ideas.

Hear the episode here.

In 2025 the podcast is now found on Spotify and Apple Podcasts (and if you hit subscribe there, you get it before everyone else). You can also catch up on the whole of Series 1 now also fully available in these channels.
