AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website". Your opponent's style: The Tech Realist

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

You're betting on a false binary. AI agents won't kill travel aggregators because aggregators solve a different problem than agents do. Agents excel at personalized execution, yes, but they need data from somewhere. Travel aggregators don't just list flights, they've spent years building supplier relationships, real-time inventory access, and trust signals that agents can't replicate alone. The smarter play is aggregators *using* agents as a distribution layer. Think Expedia powering an AI assistant, not replacing it. Your argument assumes disruption happens in isolation. It doesn't. Distribution networks consolidate power, not lose it to tools that depend on them.
