Navigating the New Normal of Tourism with Rafat Ali

In this episode, Adam Stoker sits down with Rafat Ali, CEO and Founder of Skift, for a high-level reality check on the state of travel. If you’ve been waiting for the world to "get back to normal," Rafat has news: the volatility of the last few years isn't a phase—it is the new permanent baseline. Whether discussing the rise of AI or the importance of showcasing local creative energy over traditional "sun and sand" ads, Rafat’s message is clear: you can outsource your tactics, but you can never outsource your vision.
