The rapid adoption of mobile devices and rise of social networking are changing the way that travelers worldwide consume and share travel information. Multiple devices and channels are giving travelers unprecedented choices, often making it a circuitous path from dreaming to departing. At the same time, technology innovation and business model evolution have proven to be competitive wild cards. Travel planning via smartphone, for example, may change not only the device, but also the likely booking window and favored purchase channel. For travel intermediaries, shifting business models are blurring the lines between formerly distinct travel website categories. Is company X a metasearch or traveler review website, an OTA, or all of the above? Increasingly, travel companies seek to own the funnel, expanding their focus to encompass every phase of the trip planning life cycle. For consumers, however, these distinctions rarely matter. What does matter is which websites and apps are best suited to help them to plan the perfect vacation. And as travelers explore the online and mobile tools available to them, the digital funnel is evolving in every market. But while megatrends such as mobile, social and metasearch apply around the globe, specific traveler behaviors and the factors driving them can vary substantially by market. Phocuswright's Search, Shop, Buy: The New Digital Funnel provides a detailed look at how travelers in eight key markets are navigating the trip life cycle. Based on a survey of online leisure travelers in Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S., the report describes core travel behaviors and preferences in each market to analyze how market­specific trends influence destination selection, shopping and booking. The report provides a basis for understanding travel­planning behavior in relation to devices (PCs, smartphones and tablets) and attitudes toward key shopping and purchase channels (suppliers, online travel agencies and metasearch websites). Research Highlights Market differences in trip length and destinations impact travel planning. ■ In China, quick getaways are the norm, whereas Russians and Germans travel less frequently, but tend to take longer vacations. ■ International travel incidence varies widely across markets, with the share of leisure travelers who visited an international destination for their last leisure trip ranging from 77% in Germany to 27% in the U.S. ■ Differences in the types of trips popular in each market can influence travel­planning behavior, as travelers may opt for different methods when planning different types of trips. For example, German travelers, who often take relatively long, international vacations within Europe, were also less likely to purchase a flight or hotel online for their last trip compared to other markets, and were more likely to use a travel agent. Tech­savvy millennials rule in emerging markets (especially China) ■ Travelers aged 18­34 comprise more than half of the online leisure traveler population in China (65%), Brazil (57%) and Russia (51%), compared to roughly 35­40% in the other markets studied. ■ The number of young, tech­savvy leisure travelers in these emerging markets is driving higher incidence of mobile shopping and sharing. In Brazil, for example, 37% of leisure travelers shopped and 52% shared travel experience via mobile in the past 12 months. © 2015 Phocuswright Inc. All Rights Reserved. 7 Search, Shop, Buy: The New Digital Funnel June 2015 Travelers more likely to book air online compared to hotel ■ When booking their last leisure trip, travelers were more likely to book air online compared to hotel. This pattern is due in part to the relative complexity of hotel products, and is particularly pronounced in markets such as Brazil and Russia, where travelers may be less experienced with online booking. Mobile shopping and sharing is high.

  • Booking Holdings Expands Metasearch Platform
    Duff on Hospitality Law OTA & Travel Distribution Update - Booking.com goes back to basics; Booking Holdings expands metasearch platform By Greg Duff on 7.20.18 | Posted in OTA Update As our Update reveals, Booking Holdings monopolized the distribution headlines this past week. Booking.com Goes Back to Basics ("Booking.com gets down to Basics, gets rates from other agencies," PhocusWire, July 10, 2018) Hoteliers’ ongoing efforts to rein in the sometimes abusive distribution practices of certain wholesalers just took on new significance. Booking.com acknowledged last week that is was testing a new service – Booking.Basic – which features deeply discounted rates for certain properties sourced from other distributors (as opposed to the hotels themselves). While initial tests indicate that this new service is largely limited to Asia and features rates obtained from Booking.com partners Agoda and Ctrip, the obvious question is how widespread will this service become. Will the practices of certain wholesalers mean that deeply discounted net package rates will soon find their way to the Booking.com website? Time to review those sourcing provisions in your favorite Booking Holdings contract. Booking Holdings Expands Metasearch Platform ("Booking Holdings Buys HotelsCombined as Kayak Expands Into Asia Pacific," Skift Travel News, July 9, 2018) Booking Holdings announced plans this past week to further its investment (and belief) in the metasearch space by acquiring Sydney, Australia-based, HotelsCombined. With this purchase (and addition to the Booking Holdings’ Kayak division), Booking Holdings will greatly expand its metasearch presence (particularly, with hotels) in the Asia Pacific region. Booking Holdings has not announced yet whether it intends to maintain the HotelsCombined brand or fold this latest acquisition into one of its existing metasearch brands – Kayak, Momondo, Cheapflights, Swoodoo, etc.

  • E-Book .Pdf-Download Top Booking Revenue Makers of 2020 Plus
    Your property’s complete guide: Top booking revenue makers of 2020 plus predictions and tips for 2021 Foreword Across my 20-plus years in travel, ongoing change has been a near constant companion. In that time, our planet has become that much smaller, our travel wallets far less cluttered, and technology has transformed almost every element of the working day. Last year, though, the external forces of change were altogether new. As decisions were made for us, we had no choice but to collectively surrender – to a world that was foreign, and to a completely fresh set of norms. In that sea of circumstances, one constant that I held onto tightly became the people of our industry; those that I work alongside, the partners that I engage with regularly, and the thousands of hoteliers that we at SiteMinder service daily. And, as the year unfolded, I can safely say that I’d never been prouder to work at the intersection of technology and hospitality. In this ebook, we provide a breakdown of the Top 12 hotel booking revenue makers of 2020, from various markets around the globe – a yearly tradition from our SiteMinder team. This year, we also check in with some of our most successful partners to understand how they have been working with our customers in the last year, and look towards what 2021 will bring. As the new year brings with it fresh beginnings, we hope that this is helpful to you.
