SUMMARY

Online travel markets are at various stages of development. In the US, the world's largest market, growth is strong, but slowing. Europe, less than half the size of the US market, still has upside potential. But in the Asia-Pacific region, China and India are on the way to becoming market powerhouses.

Attention: Marketers, Advertising Agencies, Educators, Retailers and Researchers.

The Online Travel Worldwide report analyzes the similarities - and differences - between online travel markets in order for marketers to create straight-line routes to success.

Markets at different stages of development can be valuable laboratories for learning. For example, the UK market is now experimenting with many "Travel 2.0" applications involving user-generated content, mapping and RSS feeds that have been used in the US travel market. US firms, by the same token, can follow the progress of Asian companies developing travel applications for mobile phones.

Of course, technologies and marketing programs used in one country cannot always be applied with the same results in other regions - but development times can often be shortened and many mistakes can be avoided altogether.
