RESET & RHYTHM · COMMUNITY ACTIVATION

AI & THE FUTURE OF TRAVEL DISCOVERY

AI IS CHANGING HOW TRAVEL IS DISCOVERED.

Travel inspiration no longer starts with Google alone.

More and more travelers use AI to find ideas, compare destinations and turn personal interests into a trip. Brand USA is working intensively on this shift and already uses AI-based planning tools for personalized travel inspiration.

For destinations this creates a new task: being somewhere on the internet is no longer enough. Places need stories, themes and concrete experiences that people – and increasingly AI systems – can understand and connect.

This is where RESET & RHYTHM starts: with the interests people already have.

THE INTEREST IS ALREADY THERE.

Millions of people in Germany are members of clubs, associations and professional networks. We don't have to create interest. We look for the part of America that fits their hobby or profession.

THE NETWORK CAN BE DIGITAL, TOO.

People meet online and then do things together in real life.

MEET5
Group dinners, culture, day trips and travel.
Meet5 shows how travel bookings can grow out of a community: for Sunwave, 13 trips were promoted through the app and accompanying advertising. According to Meet5, the result was 5.3 million views and €200,000 in generated sales. Members use the platform to form travel groups.
BOOMER COMMUNITY PLATFORMS
People aged 50+ who meet for travel, culture and food.

Meet5 and similar platforms are examples only. They are not our partners.

We don't have to build a community.It is already there.

NOT AUDIENCES. EXISTING NETWORKS.

450,000: LandFrauen members
660,000+: Equestrian club members
500+: American Football clubs
1,000+: Rotary clubs

FILM & POP CULTURE

THE STORY CAN START IN THE CINEMA.

Many people want to see the places they know from films, TV and music. Film works two ways: it gives people a reason to travel, and the cinema is a place to reach them.

Jurassic Park→Hawaii
Rocky→Philadelphia
Hollywood→Los Angeles
