Editor's note

Cite Solutions Research

Booking.com gained 7.2 percentage points to 89.1% overall, driven by Gemini reaching 98% for the brand, a near-lock on that engine, while MakeMyTrip held rank two at 70.8%.

The move

Booking.com extended its lead to **89.1%** citation share, gaining 7.2 percentage points from the previous edition (**81.9%**), with Gemini at **98%** (rank one), Google AI Mode at **89.8%** (rank one), and ChatGPT at **79.6%** (rank one).

The Gemini figure at **98%** is the primary driver of the gain and represents a near-lock on that engine. MakeMyTrip held rank two at **70.8%**, stable across all three engines.

Agoda was the second-biggest mover, gaining 7.1 percentage points to **24.5%** and rising two rank positions, with a broad gain across ChatGPT (**22.4%**), Gemini (**26.5%**), and Google AI Mode (**24.5%**).

This edition saw more than 80 new source domains enter the pool, predominantly boutique tour operators, travel agents, and specialty trip-planning sites, with limited impact on the top rankings.

What it means

Booking.com's Gemini position at **98%** places it at near-lock on that engine, and combined with its ChatGPT and AI Mode leads, the brand is approaching near-lock territory overall.

The 7.2 percentage point gain was driven primarily by Gemini strengthening, making the MakeMyTrip versus Booking.com gap on Gemini (**77.6%** versus **98%**) the largest structural exposure for domestic OTA operators.

For MakeMyTrip, ixigo, and Goibibo, the operational priority is Gemini-specific citation coverage: identifying which comparison publishers, hotel aggregators, and travel editorial sites Gemini preferentially draws on for this category and securing placement or coverage there is the highest-leverage task.

The 80-plus new source entries from boutique and specialty travel sites did not disrupt the top rankings, suggesting that citation density for the leading brands is robust enough to absorb pool expansion; mid-tier OTAs face the opposite risk, where pool expansion dilutes their share further.
