With the young generation (age group of 21-32 years) being tech savvy, and using the online medium to plan and make bookings for them has revolutionized the online travel market. Almost, every youngster uses their smartphones and desktop to make use of this online booking facility. Along with being tech-savvy, their inclination towards exploring new destinations and making online searches of different places to get travel reviews by the previous travelers is also one of the major contributing factors.
