COVID-19 Impact

As per MRFR analysis, the impact of COVID-19 on the online travel industry is quite high and is likely to remain the same during the coming months. Even after the situation reverts to normal, the industry will continue to follow the norms of social-distancing. The industry cannot expect the same quantum of airline and lodging bookings as before. It is expected that the prices will increase considering how important it is for the customers to travel. This will, in turn, result in increased cash flow in the market, thereby creating opportunities for the OTAs across the globe.

Growth Boosters and Main Barriers

With frequent technical innovations along with the rising use of smartphones, new methods are being explored that can make traveling more comfortable and easy, leading to expansion of the travel and tourism industry.

Hassle-free navigation and easy accessibility via online travel sites have led to boom in the online travel market. Over the years, travel bookings on mobiles have become quite prevalent across the globe.

More and more companies are exploring new ways to fulfill the evolving needs of the travelers, leading them to develop innovative apps to generate higher interest. Apps imbibed with numerous features are being created to be connected throughout the traveler’s journey and help them as and when needed. These apps offer the travelers with high flexibility, becoming a differentiating factor that helps the consumers determine which travel company to choose from during the online travel process. Customers also download airlines and hotels apps for quick booking and other related services. Various other services are emerging that are expected to generate more interest in online traveling, which include concierge services, customized coupons, and in-destination services. These innovative services help promote the brand and procure higher consumer base, thus working in favor of the online travel market.

Social media platform in the online travel market has been a significant influencer, acting as a noteworthy marketing medium for online agencies.
