Scorecard for bookings, travel and hospitality

In short

In the crawl of 4 Nov 2026, 72.7 percent of bookings and travel sites with a readable robots.txt allowed the four main AI agents, and 75 percent of home pages showed readable text to a plain fetch. The sample is 32 domains, a complete first edition. Most rows come from Ora's Travel & Hospitality category.

The four numbers

  • 73%allow the four main AI agents
    16 of 22 sites with a readable robots.txt let GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended in at the root
  • 75%show readable text on the home page
    15 of 20 home pages gave a plain fetch 150 words or more of text, not a script-only shell
  • 0%publish any act surface
    0 of 29 sites answered with an MCP manifest, an OpenAPI file, an agent card or agents.json at a standard path
  • 0%publish a payment or commerce file
    0 of 29 sites answered with a UCP profile at /.well-known/ucp.json

Against the whole crawl

Bookings, travel and hospitality against all crawled domains
MeasureThis sectorAll crawled domains

Any payment surface0% (0 of 29)0.6% (62 of 10,439)

The share allowing the main agents is 11.7 points below the crawl as a whole, and the share with readable home page text is 9.9 points below it. The sample is small, so a few sites can move these numbers by several points; read them as a first edition.

How this sector was sampled

32 domains fall in this sector. The sector figures use Ora leaderboard categories as stand-ins, not a definition of the sector: Travel & Hospitality (17 rows), plus 15 domains placed by a keyword on the domain name. 29 answered a plain fetch. The percentages use the denominators shown in each row, because a site with no readable robots.txt, or a home page that did not return 200, cannot be counted in that measure.

The methodology lists the category and keyword rules. Sector assignment by keyword is rough by design, and a site can sit in the wrong sector; the leaderboard category is the stronger signal. For context, Ora's own leaderboard averaged 48.1 out of 100 over 17 Travel & Hospitality entries on 5 Nov 2026 (vendor-published).

What to do with it

  • Ask your web team for the same four checks on your own site: robots.txt rules for the four agents, home page text without scripts, any act file, any payment file.
  • Take the bookings and travel guide to the meeting where those decisions are made.
  • Run the self-check for bookings and travel to see which of your own answers are open.
