Booking.com extended its lead to 86.3%, driven by Gemini citing it in 94.1% of answers, while Goibibo gained 9.2 percentage points across ChatGPT and Gemini. Booking.com extended its lead to 86.3% (up 3.7 percentage points from the previous edition), with Gemini the highest-contributing engine at 94.1% versus ChatGPT at 76.5% and Google AI Mode at 88.2%. Goibibo was the biggest mover, gaining 9.2 percentage points to 37.3% while holding rank 4, with the gain concentrated on ChatGPT (44.1%) and Gemini (41.2%) rather than AI Mode (26.5%); goibibo.com appeared as a top citation source with 11 citations primarily from ChatGPT, consistent with a source-domain pickup driving citation volume. New sources today included trivago.in, tripadvisor.com, and oyorooms.com, which shift the comparison landscape, and Agoda also gained 4.9 percentage points to 21.6% with balanced engine coverage, suggesting hotel-specific comparison sources are lifting international and regional OTAs broadly.

Editor's note

23 June 2026 · 21:00 IST

Cite Solutions Research

Booking.com extended its lead to 86.3%, driven by Gemini citing it in 94.1% of answers, while Goibibo gained 9.2 percentage points across ChatGPT and Gemini.

The move

Booking.com extended its lead to **86.3%** (up 3.7 percentage points from the previous edition), with Gemini the highest-contributing engine at **94.1%** versus ChatGPT at **76.5%** and Google AI Mode at **88.2%**.

Goibibo was the biggest mover, gaining 9.2 percentage points to **37.3%** while holding rank 4, with the gain concentrated on ChatGPT (**44.1%**) and Gemini (**41.2%**) rather than AI Mode (**26.5%**); goibibo.com appeared as a top citation source with **11 citations** primarily from ChatGPT, consistent with a source-domain pickup driving citation volume.

New sources today included trivago.in, tripadvisor.com, and oyorooms.com, which shift the comparison landscape, and Agoda also gained 4.9 percentage points to **21.6%** with balanced engine coverage, suggesting hotel-specific comparison sources are lifting international and regional OTAs broadly.

What it means

Booking.com's 17.5 percentage point gap between its Gemini score (**94.1%**) and its ChatGPT score (**76.5%**) is the largest intra-brand engine gap for any leader in this edition, and merits attention from domestic OTA competitors: Gemini is amplifying Booking.com far more than other engines, likely because of its international link authority and deep hotel-inventory structured-data coverage that Gemini indexes more aggressively than ChatGPT does.

Goibibo's gain being tied to goibibo.com appearing as a high-citation domain is a source-pool story that other domestic OTAs can replicate: brands whose own domains surface as primary citation sources capture that citation regardless of whether they are the top recommendation in comparison answers.

MakeMyTrip and ixigo hold stable second and third positions across all three engines but are not closing the gap with Booking.com, suggesting the ceiling for domestic OTAs is set by Booking.com's international structured-data and citation-authority advantage rather than content volume.

For domestic OTA operators seeking AI search share against a global incumbent, the structural lever is own-domain citation footprint on AI Mode and ChatGPT specifically, ensuring that fare-search and hotel-comparison pages are crawlable and consistently linked from AI-indexed comparison publishers `play.google.com` `makemytrip.com` `and easemytrip.com are the current top three citation sources in this vertical`.
