Online reservation for travelling

This article deals about online travel revenue coming in few years. This segment of business will grow very fast.
As we can find the report from Jupiter Research, online travel revenue will continue to grow strongly from $85 billion in 2006 to $128 billion in 2011. That will be 38% of all travel revenue for that year.

Nowadays internet with high connection (ADSL) helps a lot the customer searching and choosing the best way of travelling. They can book their travel staying at home.

In my opinion the tourism and hotel industry will be boomed in the next few years. Presents of the low-cost airlines, was one of the first reason to push people booking online, making their trip in the another way, car rental, etc
Maybe we don’t see that online booking segment is growing up very quick, but all the sources agree that online travel sales are continuing to fly higher.
“Speaking of flying, looking at airline travel sales alone, Jupiter asserts that higher fares and an increase in the number of people flying are driving total air revenues to $138 billion in 2006, with $49 billion spent online, and forecasts that that figure will grow to $72 billion in 2011.”
Hotels are also seeing — and will continue to see — a shift to online sales as more travellers migrate from making reservations by phone to online, particularly the hotels' own Web sites.
