Global Online Travel Market
Online travel refers to the digital ecosystem that facilitates the booking and management of travel-related services through the Internet. This encompasses a diverse range of services, such as researching travel destinations, booking flights, hotels, car rentals, and activities, as well as managing travel itineraries. Online travel services are offered by various platforms, including online travel agencies (OTAs), direct airline and hotel booking channels, and travel search engines. Increased internet penetration, convenience of online booking, higher levels of disposable income among middle-class households, and the proliferation of mobile applications have fuelled the demand for online travel. Additionally, several government initiatives and incentives to promote tourism and travel activities have raised awareness about the benefits of frequent vacations. However, the difficulty of integrating online travel services with the existing legacy structures and the high cost of availing booking services can hinder the growth of online travel. Additionally, cybersecurity threats and the possibility of leaks of customer data pose significant risks to online travel agencies and their customers. However, key players are investing in advanced encryption strategies and integrating novel technologies such as VR/AR and AI/ML to overcome hurdles associated with privacy, security, and technical limitations. There is also an increasing trend toward sustainable and eco-friendly travel options, which are being promoted through online travel.
