US on-line travel sales now exceed off-line travel sales. PhoCusWright has released their seventh annual on-line travel overview. Per this synopsis, PCW reports that online travel sales hit 51% in 2007, and should continue to grow to 60% in 2009.
We always take this stat with a grain of salt, since it's typically computed in dollars rather than transactions. Either may be appropriate for a given argument, but it totally depends on the case you want to make. Regardless, we'll agree with the conclusion: on-line channels will continue to grow despite their setbacks and possible risks to brandloyalty.
We'll be keeping it real at the PCW executive conference next week, so we'll keep you posted on the latest buzz.
