Voice reading · ~2 min Welcome to the Notitur daily brief, your travel-industry recap. Today: FutureTravel Summit 2026: tickets are open and they won't last. That tickets for FutureTravel Summit 2026 are now open is not just a calendar update. It is a signal that European travel tech is stepping on the gas again. The date is October 29th in Barcelona, same venue as last year, and given the sellout pace of 2025, which hung the sold out sign, anyone who waits will be left out.. As the organizers explain in the official announcement, the conversations that start there turn into deals, partnerships and product decisions. If you are a founder, investor or head of innovation at an OTA, airline or hotel chain, you should very seriously consider being in that room.. And there is more. Besides tickets, two key calls are coming: the pitch competition for startups and the call for speakers. If you have something to show, an AI-native revenue management model, a direct distribution solution, a travel-tech platform with traction, this is the stage to launch it. Do not wait until the last minute.. The broader context could not be more interesting. While the sector prepares for this gathering, we have seen big moves: Perk secured a $300 million credit facility to fund AI and US expansion, Pricepoint closed a $4.8 million seed round for its AI-native revenue management platform, SITA acquired Big Blue Analytics to help airlines cut disruption costs by up to 30%, and Juniper Group bought Deem, the corporate booking tool, confirming that the full-stack GDS model is reaching its expiration date.. All of that simmers in the hallways of FutureTravel Summit. So I say: if your company, hotel, airline, startup or investor, wants to be where the roadmap of European travel tech is written, this is the ticket.. Bottom line: do not buy the ticket because it is trendy. Buy it because you need to know who moves the piece before they move yours. Get your ticket here. I already have mine. That is today's recap. Come back tomorrow for more on travel, artificial intelligence and travel tech. See you tomorrow on Notitur.
