Travel, hospitality, and payments infrastructure

Conviction: 88% · Horizon: 8Y · 2026-07-05
Experiences and travel demand persist while scaled platforms and merchant payments capture the value chain

AI may reshape discovery and booking but does not remove needs for trusted aggregation, payment rails, and deep merchant relationships in restaurants, hotels, venues, and travel; leaders compound through software attach and transaction volume growth.

Instrument Side Target Reason
FOUR Long Vertically integrated payments and software for hospitality, stadiums, and travel merchants offers leveraged exposure to experiential spending with opportunities to upsell fraud, data, and workflow tools as volumes grow.
BKNG Long Global demand aggregation, brand strength, and take-rate economics on accommodation and travel services create a durable marketplace that can adopt AI to improve conversion without losing distribution power.
