Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fb599778/global_online_trav) has announced the addition of the "Global Online Travel Report 2012" report to their offering.
In its latest ""Global Online Travel Report 2012"" Hamburg-based secondary market research firm yStats.com gives a detailed overview of the international online travel market. In addition to information about the global market, the report covers individual regions and 37 countries in America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and southern Africa. Last but not least, it lists online travel news about important players in the market.
The trend to book travel arrangements online will continue in 2012 - especially in emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil. In line with this trend the share of the online segment compared to the total travel market is expected to increase to almost one third worldwide. However, in 2011 the value of the US online travel market was still higher than that of Great Britain, China, India and Brazil combined.
Online Travel Arrangements Continue to Gain in Popularity across the Entire American Continent
Compared to 2011, revenue generated in the US online travel market is forecasted to grow in 2012 by a low double digit percentage figure. Clients who bought travel products online in 2011 made most purchases through online travel agents amounting to almost 50%, followed by search engines and websites of tour operators. In the category mobile bookings, hotels were booked most frequently, followed by flights and travel packages.
The ""Global Online Travel Report 2012"" by yStats.com also provides interesting facts about trends outside the USA. In Canada, in early March 2012 Expedia was the leading travel website: it generated twice as much traffic as the second placed website Flight Network. In Argentina particularly younger people tend to book travel arrangements online; however, internet use in this area is growing across all age groups.
