For years, the tourism industry fought over one thing: bookings. Who sells? Who collects the money? Who gets the commission? But according to travel entrepreneur Martin Rosenberg, that battle is already over. The real tourism war is now being fought elsewhere: in discovery. And that's precisely where the OverseasInfo.tv intends to shake things up.
Summary
Why OverseasInfo.tv is tackling the real battle of tourism
In a statement released on March 9, 2026, from Antalya, Turkey, tourism entrepreneur Martin Rosenberg presented a vision that clearly deserves the attention of industry professionals. According to him, the strategic challenge of digital tourism is no longer just about booking, but about how travelers discover a destination or an experience.
As he explains very clearly: “Whoever controls the discovery ultimately controls the booking.”
In other words, whoever influences the discovery mechanically influences the traveler's final decision.
According to the specialized press, this shift is already visible in travelers' behavior. Internet users are no longer just browsing comparison sites and agency websites: they are now asking questions directly to artificial intelligence assistants.
Concrete examples: “Where should I stay in Lisbon?” or “What is a unique hiking experience in Wales?”Travelers now expect a direct answer, not just a list of links.
In this context, OverseasInfo.tv is positioning itself in an emerging field: tourist discovery through video and direct contact with local stakeholders.
The three “travel internets” that are reshaping tourism
To understand OverseasInfo.tv's strategy, one must look at how Martin Rosenberg describes the evolution of the tourism web. According to him, the sector now operates on three parallel digital ecosystems.
1. The Internet of OTAs
The first category is that of major booking platforms like Booking, Expedia, or Airbnb. These marketplaces have centralized tourist inventory and simplified comparison for travelers.
But they have also created a system where hotels and service providers find themselves in direct competition while paying commissions to be visible.
2. The Internet of SEO and Content
The second universe relies on search engines, travel blogs, and review platforms. This model operates primarily through traffic, advertising, and affiliate marketing.
It strongly influences how destinations and experiences are presented online.
3. The Internet of Discovery through AI
The third ecosystem is the one that is coming very fast: discovery driven by artificial intelligence.
Instead of browsing multiple websites, travelers ask their questions directly to AI assistants who synthesize the answers.
Why the travel web poses a problem today
According to Rosenberg, much of the online tourism content today relies on aggregated inventories and recycled information.
As a result, some recommendations may be inaccurate or outdated.
As he summarizes: “At a certain point, the travel internet became extremely effective at disseminating offers, but not always as effective at representing real experiences.”
In some cases, excursions that no longer exist continue to be listed online. Closed businesses still appear in search results. And some experiences are duplicated across dozens of platforms.
When tourism stakeholders lost control of their offerings
Another phenomenon highlighted by Rosenberg concerns the progressive loss of control of tourism professionals over their own products.
In today's ecosystem, product listings are often copied, republished, and redistributed by a multitude of intermediaries and affiliates.
As he explains: “The inventory has become detached from the people who actually create the experience.”
In other words, the tourist experience sometimes becomes disconnected from those who actually create it.
OverseasInfo.tv's strategy to reconnect travelers and professionals
The OverseasInfo.tv platform was created precisely to address this problem.
The principle is simple: to use video to allow travelers to discover a tourist experience in a more authentic and visual way.
Rather than reading a standardized description, the traveler can see the place, understand the experience, and interact directly with the service provider.
According to Rosenberg: “The future of travel discovery may not belong to the platforms that control the most offers, but rather to those that put travelers closest to the source of the experience.”
OverseasInfo.tv versus traditional online tourism models
| Model | Functioning | Boundaries |
|---|---|---|
| OTA | Centralized booking platforms | High commissions and strong competition |
| SEO and blogs | Editorial content and SEO | Addiction to traffic and algorithms |
| AI Discovery | Direct responses via smart assistants | Need for reliable sources |
| OverseasInfo.tv | Video discovery and direct contact | A still emerging model |
Questions that tourism professionals are asking themselves
What is OverseasInfo.tv?
OverseasInfo.tv is a video-based tourism discovery platform that connects travelers and tourism professionals.
Why is discovery becoming strategic?
Because the discovery phase directly influences the final booking.
What role does artificial intelligence play?
AI is transforming the way travelers search for information by providing direct answers rather than a list of sites.
Why have professionals lost control of their records?
Tourist content is often copied and redistributed by numerous intermediaries.
What does OverseasInfo.tv change for tourism stakeholders?
The platform seeks to directly reconnect travelers with the original service providers.
A concrete example to understand the model
Imagine an independent hotel in a little-known destination. On a typical OTA, it appears in a long list with dozens of competitors.
On a platform like OverseasInfo.tv, the hotel can showcase its establishment in video, introduce its team and tell travelers about their experience directly.
For a client preparing for an important trip, this visual and human dimension can clearly make a difference.

In a world dominated by artificial intelligence and conversational search, discovery could well become the new battleground of tourism.
