instagram.com records 18.72% AI citation share on this market and sits 1.55 percentage points behind youtube.com. Cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, it is the closest contender on the panel, narrowing the gap to a margin that makes the top of this surface a two-actor contest between social platforms.

The panel is top-heavy and platform-dominated
The panel is top-heavy and platform-dominated. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 2 combined, and all three are social platforms. The 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 18.72% down to 5.81%, a spread of 14.46 percentage points from rank 1 to rank 5. The two focused sources at the bottom of the panel — forbestravelguide.com and cntraveler.com — together trail the top two social platforms by a wide margin. The surface reads as a platform-first citation environment with specialist hospitality content pushed to the lower tier.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Hospitality US Urban-Resort (NY/Miami) · New York / Miami · AI citation · September 21–27, 2026
youtube.com leads the AI Overview citation rail for luxury urban-resort hospitality queries in the United States — a surface where the AI engine cites user-generated and social content more heavily than focused hospitality sources. The absence of any specialist hospitality operator from the top three positions reframes what AI Overviews treat as citable authority on this market.
Market implication
