The surface is top-heavy: the top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined. The 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 13.33% down to 3.92%, and 3 of the 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs while 2 were cited in fewer runs. The structure points to a citation surface where AI Overviews draw on general-purpose platforms for Luxury Hospitality Switzerland rather than specialist hospitality content.

FAQ
- What does AI citation share on this market measure?
- AI citation share on this market measures how often an actor's domain appears as a cited source inside AI Overview answers across the observed query panel. It does not measure who opens AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.

- No. This card observes the AI Overview citation rail across 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window October 12–18, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. The observation does not establish a longer-term trend.
- Why are there no specialist hospitality operators on this panel?
- The governed top-5 panel is ranked by cumulative AI citation volume over the period. The 5 actors with the highest accumulated citation share across the 7-run window are all platforms. This reflects what AI Overviews cited during the observed window, not the broader hospitality market structure.
