Booking.com gained 2.1% to 86.1% led by Gemini at 93.8%, while EaseMyTrip shed 3.6% as weak ChatGPT (18.8%) and Gemini (20.8%) overrode a solid AI Mode rate (41.7%). Booking.com held rank 1 at 86.1% citation share (+2.1% from 84.0% in the previous edition), leading all three engines: ChatGPT (81.3%), Gemini (93.8%), and AI Mode (83.3%), with Gemini as its strongest engine. EaseMyTrip is the biggest mover, off 3.6% to 27.1%, with the composite decline driven by weak ChatGPT (18.8%) and Gemini (20.8%) positions despite an AI Mode rate of 41.7%; the gap between AI Mode and the other two engines is the defining feature of EaseMyTrip's current profile. MakeMyTrip fell 3.2% to 68.8% but held rank 2 consistently across all engines. The citation pool expanded substantially today with travel-agency, destination, and accommodation domains entering, including happyfares.in now at the third-highest citation count at 29 citations (AI Mode primary) and skyscanner.net entering for the first time.

Editor's note

Cite Solutions Research

Booking.com gained 2.1% to 86.1% led by Gemini at 93.8%, while EaseMyTrip shed 3.6% as weak ChatGPT (18.8%) and Gemini (20.8%) overrode a solid AI Mode rate (41.7%).

The move

Booking.com held rank 1 at 86.1% citation share (+2.1% from 84.0% in the previous edition), leading all three engines: ChatGPT (81.3%), Gemini (93.8%), and AI Mode (83.3%), with Gemini as its strongest engine.

EaseMyTrip is the biggest mover, off 3.6% to 27.1%, with the composite decline driven by weak ChatGPT (18.8%) and Gemini (20.8%) positions despite an AI Mode rate of 41.7%; the gap between AI Mode and the other two engines is the defining feature of EaseMyTrip's current profile.

MakeMyTrip fell 3.2% to 68.8% but held rank 2 consistently across all engines.

The citation pool expanded substantially today with travel-agency, destination, and accommodation domains entering, including happyfares.in now at the third-highest citation count at 29 citations (AI Mode primary) and skyscanner.net entering for the first time.

What it means

At 86.1%, Booking.com has crossed into near-lock territory, and its 63% positive sentiment, the highest in this vertical, confirms it is being cited favorably rather than merely frequently; the Gemini position at 93.8% indicates strong representation in editorial travel content that Gemini weights heavily.

EaseMyTrip's split profile, strong on AI Mode (41.7%) and weak on ChatGPT (18.8%), indicates a content mix skewed toward app-store and review-aggregator sources rather than the editorial and comparison content that ChatGPT and Gemini weight more heavily.

The large pool expansion today, with many India-focused travel-agency and tour-operator sites entering, tends to benefit brands with broad existing coverage like Booking.com and MakeMyTrip more than brands with narrower content footprints.

For operators at rank 5 and below, the gap to the top two is primarily a ChatGPT and Gemini gap; AI Mode is already more accessible for India-market brands given its weighting of local aggregators and app-store sources.

The actionable lever for EaseMyTrip and comparable operators is editorial and long-form comparison content on travel publications rather than additional app presence, which is where they are already well represented relative to the citation value returned.
