Global Online Travel Market Size is projected to be US$ 1,463.98 Billion by 2027. Most industries have become fully digitized over the last decade. In particular, the travel industry has maintained to great lengths to cultivate its online presence. The online travel industry primarily reviews sites and travel e-commerce sites. It offers the comfort of booking from home and often entices consumers with package deals and price-saving options. As a result, many travelers have shifted away from traditional brick-and-mortar travel agencies favoring online options to book their trips.
Furthermore, the increased spending power of the people, a governmental initiative to spread tourism, growing internet and credit card penetration, the emergence of new online segments are driving the primary global online travel market. Most of the global online travel market growth would come from the increasing penetration of international flight and hotel bookings offered by online portals such as Booking.com, TripAdvisor.com, Skyscanner.com, etc.

Based on type, the global online travel industry is segmented into Package travel and Direct travel. The direct travel agencies enable customers to engage while researching, booking, or planning their travels. The online direct travel agency can be on a mobile app or website via which the booking can be made instantly with the online travel agency.
On the basis of Booking Type, the market is segmented into Online Travel Agencies and Direct Travel Suppliers. Online travel agencies are evolving as the most preferred medium for bookings in the world.

OTAs have evolved into digital marketplaces that directly connect B2B and B2C customers with a full range of online travel outcomes. In fact, OTAs can be considered as a hybrid of an e-commerce platform and a travel agency. OTAs from giants such as Expedia, Booking.com, and Trip.com have captured the global online travel market (hotels, airlines, packaged tours, rail and cruises).
Furthermore, the Travel Accommodation segment is projected to maintain its lead in the online travel services market. As the world has integrated, businesses are expanding their business worldwide, and thus travel accommodation has become the most significant contributor to the Online Travel Market. Travelers can choose online from among the various travel accommodations available, including hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, and others.

Online travel booking through mobile/tablet and desktop is the most favored booking vehicle for most youthful explorers because of usability, comfort, and every minute of everyday openness. Digital consumer trends continue to change. Desktop use is continuously dropping, and mobile is continually growing vice versa. However, even these trends continue to move rapidly, so the online travel industry must adapt accordingly. 82% of all travel bookings around the world took place without human interaction in 2018, according to STRATOS.
In the past several years, online payment modes such as UPI, E-Wallets, Debit/Credit Card, and others have gained popularity in the online travel industry.
