In APAC, China is the major contributor to its growth with its increase in the use of mobile bookings. But in European and the American countries majority are inclined towards desktop bookings as compared to APAC, which is more inclined towards mobile. With a majority of young travelers preferring to book via OTAs, this age group contributes towards a higher share of young travelers in this market.
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.
All this has emphasized the growth of multiple Travel apps, OTAs, Web portals, travel review websites, online travel guides etc. These online tools have also come up with the latest strategies in order to provide by Travel Portal Development Company to them with discounted fares and offers while booking for a particular destination in order to attract more travelers towards them.
