The piece reports on a Changemaker session at the Phocuswright Conference where Rome2Rio CEO Wendy Olson Killion discussed how multimodal travel, which integrates different transportation types (like flights, trains, buses and ferries), is redefining what “access” means for today’s travelers. She explained that travel planning is increasingly about navigating complex mobility options and infrastructure, not just choosing a destination, and that technology — including AI — plays a key role in making those choices easier and more seamless for users. The session highlighted that travelers now value connectivity, sustainability and resilience, and travel platforms must help people not only find routes but also understand and act on the best, most efficient ways to get around.
