Yes, we know more acronyms — but these ones matter.
Are you familiar with these terms?

Of Course
Before we get into it, at Breeze Travel, we believe the future of tourism marketing isn’t about just selling rooms. It’s about selling experiences. Travelers today are searching in more ways than ever: typing into Google, asking Siri or Alexa, or even planning entire trips with AI tools like ChatGPT or Google’s AI Overviews.
So weather you are a destination, DMO, airline or hotel group that means you can't just be pretty on Instagram — you need to be discoverable everywhere: search engines, voice assistants, and AI planners. The most effective way to do this? PACKAGING!
So, let’s demystify the big three acronyms shaping travel discovery: SEO, VEO, and AEO.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
How you show up when travelers type a query into Google or Bing.
Example: “best diving packages in Tobago.”
VEO (Voice Engine Optimization)
How your content is found when travelers ask Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant.
Example: “Hey Google, what’s the best 5-day honeymoon trip in Saint Lucia?”
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)
How AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI Overviews choose you as the best answer.
Example: “Plan me a 4-day Carnival experience in Trinidad with hotel and party tickets.”
👉 Together, these three determine whether your destination is found when travelers search, ask, or plan.
1. SEO: Ranking Higher with Packages
Search engines reward websites that offer detailed, specific, and useful content — exactly what packages deliver.
Packages naturally target long-tail keywords (“3-night Bequia sailing and spa package”).
Itineraries, inclusions, and FAQs create content depth.
Seasonal packages tied to events (Carnival, Regattas, Food Festivals) generate fresh, timely traffic.
With packaging, your website evolves from being just a digital brochure into a direct booking platform.
2. VEO: Winning in Voice Search
More travelers are speaking their searches out loud:
“Alexa, find me an all-inclusive Carnival package in Trinidad.”
“Hey Siri, what’s the best romantic weekend getaway in the Grenadines?”
Optimized packages with conversational copy, FAQs, and structured data make sure your destination is the answer travelers actually hear.
3. AEO: Being the AI’s Recommended Choice
AI is changing trip planning. Instead of lists of links, tools now deliver ready-made answers and itineraries.
Structured itineraries = easy for AI to recommend.
Transparent inclusions and pricing = builds trust.
Experience-led packages = stand out where OTAs only push hotels.
This is how you move from being “an option” to being the answer.

SEO makes travelers find you.
VEO makes travelers hear you.
