Bernard Metzger

Founder, Travelindex Group

Bernard Metzger is the founder of Travelindex Group, a global platform redefining how the tourism ecosystem is structured, measured, and understood in the age of artificial intelligence.

Operating at the intersection of AI, data intelligence, and global travel, he develops next-generation ranking and benchmarking systems that transform traditionally subjective industries, such as hospitality, gastronomy, and destinations, into structured, comparable, and data-driven ecosystems.

Through initiatives including TOP25 Restaurants, the world’s first AI-powered restaurant guide (launched in 2017), Sustainable First, TravelNewsHub, and Travelindex.com, he is building the infrastructure for a more transparent, measurable, and globally connected tourism economy.

His work introduces a fundamental shift: from opinion-based recognition to multi-dimensional intelligence, where performance, sustainability, and influence can be quantified at scale.

Collaborating with tourism boards, destination authorities, and economic strategists, Bernard focuses on positioning travel and hospitality not just as industries, but as strategic drivers of global visibility, competitiveness, and sustainable development.

He is particularly engaged in shaping the future of large-scale ranking systems and exploring how AI can redefine trust, authority, and decision-making across global tourism and lifestyle sectors.
