The move Booking.com held the lead at **81.8%** (-0.8 percentage points from the previous edition's **82.6%**), winning across all three engines (ChatGPT **78.6%**, Gemini **88.1%**, AI Mode **78.6%**). MakeMyTrip declined 6.4 percentage points to **60.3%**, with losses distributed across all three engines. Goibibo was the biggest mover, falling 7 percentage points to **27.8%** and dropping from rank 4 to rank 5; the sharpest decline was on Google AI Mode (**21.4%**, rank 6), consistent with AI Mode expanding its source frame beyond traditional OTA comparison. New sources entering today include airbnb.co.in, klook.com, viator.com, getyourguide.com, and thrillophilia.com, alternative accommodation and activities platforms that, when cited by AI Mode alongside traditional OTAs, dilute OTA citation share proportionally across more competing references. ixigo also declined 3.4 percentage points to **40.5%**. What it means The simultaneous declines for MakeMyTrip (-6.4 percentage points) and Goibibo (-7 percentage points), both concentrated on AI Mode, combined with the entry of airbnb.co.in and activity-booking platforms into today's source pool, points to a plausible structural mechanism: Google AI Mode is expanding its reference frame from traditional OTA comparison to broader travel-planning, and that expansion splits citation share across a wider set of competing sources. If this pattern repeats in the next edition, traditional OTAs in this vertical face a slow AI Mode-specific dilution unrelated to their own positioning on review publishers. For an operator running a traditional OTA, the emerging citation lever is securing coverage in the activities and alternative-accommodation editorial layer; thrillophilia.com entered the pool today and is the category of source to prioritize. Booking.com's near-lock status at **81.8%** and Gemini dominance (**88.1%**) provides some insulation, but the AI Mode trend is the signal to watch in coming editions.
