ANALYSIS
• There is a large amount of comparison shopping that occurs within the Travel
category, with nearly 44% of Travel website visits going to another Travel website in
May 2006. The Travel category is more competitive than online retail: In May 2006, 38%
of visits to Shopping & Classifieds websites went to another Shopping & Classifieds
website.

• Search engines are the largest source of traffic for Travel websites: In May 2006,
search engines accounted for 27.6% of all upstream traffic to the category.

• The Travel category is highly competitive, with nearly 44% of Travel website visits
going to another Travel website in May 2006. In comparison, 38.4% of Shopping &
Classifieds category visits went to another Shopping & Classifieds website in May 2006,
demonstrating that there is even more comparative research occurring in the Travel
industry versus online retail.

• Agencies sent 59.1% of downstream traffic to other Travel websites in May 2006,
demonstrating that users were conducting price comparison research.

• Transport websites sent 51.1% of downstream visits to other Travel websites in May
2006, again demonstrating the large amount of comparison shopping that occurs within
the industry.

• Although there are dozens of Consolidator websites, over 95% of the traffic is
concentrated in the top 7 sites, and over 90% among the top 5. The top 7 are: Expedia,
Travelocity, Priceline, Orbitz, CheapTickets, Hotwire, Hotels.com.

• One reason to explain the difference between the top and bottom 5 sites is by
comparing visitor loyalty: for the top 5 sites, there are 2.48 visits per visitor per month;
for the top 7, the average is 2.24; for the bottom 3, the average is 1.42.

• There is not a noticeable difference in the demographics of the visitors to the sites.
The majority of visitors are caucasian, pretty well represented by different age groups,
have household income of over $60K, and have some college education.

• The overwhelming majority of all the users to the sites are from the US, averaging
85% of all users for the top 5 sites and 71% for the bottom 5 sites. There is a significant
drop off from US to the remaining top 4 countries, dropping to 4% for the second
country of origination, and less than 1% to the 5th country.

• There are very few distinguishing characteristics between the top 10 sites in terms of
services offered, with brand recognition playing the biggest difference between the
sites.

• However, Priceline and Hotwire do have distinct business models: Priceline offers
“Name your Price” pricing, which they originated; and Hotwire offers deep discounts on
Hotels and Car Rentals in “Opaque Pricing”.

• In terms of annual trends, there is a distinct seasonality in traveling, with a higher


number of trips in summer than winter time, which affects the traffic to all the sites.

• Among all the sites, CheapTickets is the only site that shows noticeable drop in traffic
during the course of the year, decreasing from 17 million visitors per month in March
2007 to 10 million visitors in March 2008.

ANALYSIS DEMOGRAPHICS
• The top 10 airline websites attract 132 million visitors per month Monthly Vis
which is about 70 million visitors per month less than that of the top
15.24%
Consolidator websites, which attract 204 million visitors.
11.95%
• Although there is less of a oligopoly among the top 10 airlines as
was with Consolidators, the top 5 airlines account still account for 75%
of all visitors (100 million visitors), and 66% of all uniques per month
8.70%
(26 million). 8.50%

• Similar to Consolidators, one reason to explain the difference Southwest AA De


between the top 5 and bottom 5 airline sites, is through visitor loyalty: United JetBlue Co
for the top 5 sites, there are 3.63 visits per visitor per month; for the
bottom 5, the average is 2.66. 100.00%

80.00%
• Overall, visitors to airline booking sites are more loyal than to those
of Consolidators. For the top 10 Consolidators, the average number of 60.00%
visits per visitor is 2.1; for airlines, it is 3.15. This is confirmed by
comparing the share of visits by Addicts between the sites, which for 40.00%
the top 10 airlines sites is over 3%, while for Consolidators is less than
1%. 20.00%

•This difference in loyalty, is explained partially by the monopoly 0.00%


position of certain airlines in their hubs. For example, Northwest

Airlines has the highest rate of repeat visitors and percent addicts of
any of the sites (3.73 and 5% respectively). The reason for such Male
customer loyalty is the fact that NWA has a near monopoly status in its
hubs in Minneapolis, Memphis and Detroit. In this case, there is little 100.00%
reason for the customer to shop around, and so the site of choice for
airline tickets remains NWA. 80.00%

60.00%
• As was the case with the Consolidators, there is not a noticeable
difference in the demographics of the visitors among the airline sites. 40.00%
However, there is a slight difference between the demographics of
airlines versus that of consolidators: the visitors of Consolidator 20.00%
websites tend to be slightly younger, wealthier, and be more educated
than that of airlines visitors. It is important to note that the difference 0.00%
is quite small, but it could suggest that users of Consolidator sites are

• Even more so than the Consolidator visitors, the overwhelming
majority of all the users to the airlines sites are from the US, averaging 100.00%
89% of all users for the top 5 sites and 83% for the bottom 5 sites, and
almost 86% for the top 10 sites. As would be expected, the airline 80.00%
with the lowest percentage of US visitors is Virgin Atlantic, where only
60% of visitors are from US. 60.00%

• As was the case with Consolidators, there are very few distinguishing 40.00%

ANALYSIS DEMOGRAPHICS
• The top 10 hotels websites attract about 44 million visitors and 24 Monthly Vi
million unique visitors per month. Overall top 10 Hotel websites 21.01%
attract160 million fewer visitors, and 60 million fewer uniques per
month than Consolidator websites. 19.75%

• Even more so than Consolidators and Airlines, the top 4 hotel chains
dominate the percentage of visitors who visit hotel websites: Hilton, 14.57%
Marriott, Intercontinental, and Choice hotels attract 33 million visitors
Hilton Marriott
(75% of total) and 17 million uniques (72% of total). In case of hotels,
there is a strong correlation between the size of the hotel chain and Best Western Starwood
traffic levels. In this case, the 4 chains with the most locations have Wyndham Accorhotels
the highest traffic levels.
100.00%
• In addition to the number of hotels, the 2nd factor that impacts the
80.00%
traffic is customer loyalty, although the impact of loyalty is
significantly less than that of Consolidators and Airlines. In the case of
60.00%
hotels, the top 4 chains average 1.94 visits per visitor, while the
bottom 6 average 1.54 visits per visitor. However, overall loyalty to 40.00%
the hotel sites is significantly less than that of Consolidators and
Airlines (1.75 vs. 3.15 for airlines & 1.75 vs 2.09 for consolidators), 20.00%
This is at least partially due to the fact that no single hotel chain
enjoys the type of monopoly that airlines enjoy in their hub markets. 0.00%

• The above observation is reinforced by the fact that almost none of

n
the visitors to the hotel sites can be considered addicts; that is in stark Male
contrast to the Airlines sites, where almost 3% of visitors are classified
as addicts. 100.00%

• As was the case with the Consolidators and Airlines, there is not a 80.00%
noticeable difference in the demographics of the visitors among the
60.00%
Hotel sites. The main exception to this rule is that of AccorHotels,
which is attracted by more men, more people who are non-Caucasian,
40.00%
and are slightly older than the other chains. In general though, the
Hotel site visitors are slightly less wealthy and have lower college 20.00%
education levels than airline sites.

• Unlike Consolidator and Airline sites, the visitors to the Hotel sites

are not overwhelmingly from the US (62% vs. 85% for airlines and 78%

for consolidators). This is impacted significantly by AccorHotels, 18-24 25-34 35-44
where only 5% of visitors are from US, but even without that outlier,
the average US user percentage is about 64%, still significantly less 100.00%
than Airlines and Consolidators.

• There are very few distinguishing characteristics between the top 10

ANALYSIS DEMOGRAPHICS
• The top 10 hotels websites attract about 180 million fewer visitors Monthly Vis
per month when compared to Consolidator websites (204 million for 21.72%
consolidators vs. 24 million for hotels). As is obvious from the above
analysis then, the top 10 Consolidator sites have more visitors per 15.39%
month than the top 10 airlines, hotels, and car rental sites combined,
making them far more important on the online travel marketplace
than any other group. The primary reason for their importance is that
they take advantage of the power of the Internet by giving visitors 13.71%
multiple choices along a number of categories.
Enterprise Budget Av
• Please note that in all these cases, Consolidator sites are not the Thrifty Dollar Na
same as referral sites, such as Kayak, Sidestep or Travelzoo. These
sites, although very popular, do not allow for booking on the sites 100.00%
themselves, but rather act merely as a place where visitors can
80.00%
compare prices across Consolidators, Airlines, Hotels and Car Rental
company sites. The Consolidator sites also do not include search
60.00%
engines, such as Google Travel or Yahoo Travel.

• Similar to the other categories, the top 5 car rental sites dominate
the percentage of visitors who visit these websites: Enterprise, 20.00%
Budget, Avis, Hertz, and Alamo attract 33 million visitors (88% of total)
and 17 million uniques (79% of total). 0.00%

• Unlike hotels and airlines, customer loyalty does not seem to play a

e
key role in traffic patterns between the top and bottom 5 sites. The Male
average visits per visitor for the top 5 is 1.83, and for the bottom 5 is
1.67. Furthermore, loyalty to car rental sites is also significantly less 100.00%
than that of the other three categories.
80.00%
• Although demographic differences between the sites is more
60.00%
pronounced than those between the other 3 travel categories, the
differences are still not significant to merit analysis. Certain sites do
40.00%
attract more men than women, have lower Caucasian visitors ratios,
and have higher education levels, but overall the similarities far 20.00%
outweigh the differences.

• Similar to Consolidator and Airline sites, the visitors to the Car Rental

ANALYSIS
• Social Networking sites are some of the most popular sites on the Internet,
and their growing popularity has resulted in an explosion in their numbers. 65.49%
Although even the smallest of these 10 sites have traffic numbers that dwarf
some of the larger travel sites in this analysis, they are nonetheless extremely
small when compared to the two biggest social networking sites under
analysis: MySpace and Facebook, which are by some estimates in the top 5-10
sites of all Internet sites, attract over 2 billion visitors a month in the case of
MySpace, and over 1 billion in the case of FaceBook. Combined, these two
sites receive over 95% of all visitors of the top 10 Social Networking sites.
MySpace Fac
• The most important reason for their huge traffic numbers is customer loyalty. Tagged Ork
MySpace has a visits per visitor ratio of over 48, Facebook’s is 30. Orkut, a
hugely popular SN site in Brazil that is run by Google has a very large ratio of 100.00%
39, while the next closest site in terms of customer loyalty is Friendster at 17.
80.00%
The remaining sites average about 3.97 visits per visitor, which is very good
compared to Travel related sites, but significantly less than the four mentioned
60.00%
about.
40.00%
• This loyalty is also reflected in the percentage of traffic that comes from
addicts: 20.00%
o For the top 10 sites, the addict volume make up 54% of all traffic;
o For the top 5 the addict average is 58%, 0.00%
o For the top 2, the average is 63%; and

My
Sp
o For mySpace, it is an amazing 73%.

• Unlike the travel and restaurant sites, the demographics of Social Network
sites do differ from each other, which is reflective of their core strategy and 100.00%
audience. Social Network sites are by definition driven by commonality among
their visitors, and the sites tailor their sites to attract certain demographic 80.00%
groups; for example:
60.00%
o MySpace: Younger, more media savvy, less college educated (because
40.00%
of age),
and more Caucasian. 20.00%
o Facebook: Originally a social network sites for college students, this is
reflected in a demographic characteristics that is slightly older than 0.00%

more college educated, and more wealthy.
o LinkedIn: A professional networking site, their demographic 18-24 2
characteristic is
much older than the top 2 sites, more wealthy, more college educated, 100.00%
and less
ethnically diverse. 80.00%

• The demographic differences are also reflected in the visitor origination


patterns. Unlike the travel sites, the visitors for the top 10 social network sites 60.00%
are not dominated by the US. However, it is important to point that for the top
3 sites, the US’ share of visitors is the largest of all representative countries, 40.00%
representing 66%, 43%, and 38% of all visitors for MySpace, Facebook, and
Flickr respectively. However, these percentages are still much lower than those 20.00%
associated with Travel sites.

attract an additional 12% and 8% of the visitor traffic respectively.
The bottom 7 sites attract the remaining 5% of visitor traffic, which
makes online ticketing an extremely top-heavy industry, just as was
the case with Consolidators, Airlines, Hotels, and Car Rentals.
TicketMaster StubHub
• Although TicketMaster has a higher visits/visitor ratio than any of the TickCo Tix
other sites at 2.15, the difference is not significant enough to explain inticketing TicketLeap
their extreme monopolistic position in this industry. The average ratio
for the remaining 8 sites is 1.45. In this case, the biggest driver for 100.00%
traffic is representation of TicketMaster by venues and events.
80.00%
TicketMaster is the sole ticket processor for most of the entertainment
venues in the US, and they also have exclusive relationshiops with
60.00%
promoters, managers, and booking companies. These monopoly
relationships allow TicketMaster not only attract the most visitors to its 40.00%
online ticket sites, but to also charge monopoly prices for its services.

are more diverse than the travel sites about, with demographics of the
visitors being influenced substantially by the type of shows and events

the ticketing sites sponsor and manage. The customer segmentation
among the ticketing sites is again influenced greatly by the near

ANALYSIS
• The top 10 Green Sites provide a variety of services and information to help
their visitors make more sustainable life-style choices. What these sites have 72.74%
in common is that they all allow individuals to purchase green products and
services, and to provide them with the background guides on sustainable living
and consumerism. In addition, the majority of the sites offer blogs and activism
opportunities.
TreeHugger
• Overall these 10 sites attract 2.8 million visitors and 2.0 million uniques per
EarthEasy
month, a significant traffic volume given the breath of green sites, and the fact Alternative
that none of these sites are owned by corporations. Surprisingly, this list is Consumer
again dominated by one site, Treehugger.com, which attracts 73% of the total ecosherpa
visits, and 70% of total uniques, which amounts to over 2 million visitors and
1.4 million uniques. Those are significant traffic numbers and it gives 100.00%
Treehugger a top 2,000 Internet ranking.
80.00%
• Of the top 5, the remaining 4 sites attract an additional 23% of visitors and
60.00%
20% of uniques, bringing the total visitor share of the top 5 Green sites to 96%
of visitors and 90% of uniques. 40.00%

• Similar to Ticketing sites, customes loyalty cannot explain the difference in 20.00%
these visitor-share numbers, with Treehugger having only a slightly higher visits
per visitor ratio than the remaining 9 sites (1.51 for Treehugger versus 1.28 0.00%
average for the remaining nine sites).

• Although it is difficult to ascertain what is contributing to these high traffic
numbers for Treehugger versus the other sites, there are a couple of
hypotheses: 100.00%

o Given lack of significant marketing dollars and corporate backing, and 80.00%
given
60.00%
the grassroots nature of online green movements, it would seem that
reputation and word of mouth would play a very important role in driving
40.00%
traffic volumes for Green sites.
20.00%
o It may also be that the online Green market is very dynamic and we are
witnessing the current top Green site, which may change in the future. 0.00%

partially evident when looking at the visitor trends during the past year. T
Lime.com lost over 90% of its visitor traffic during the course of the year, 18-24 2

thousands. 100.00%

• In terms of demographic make up, there is a wide range of characteristics, 80.00%


again signifying niche markets in an otherwise dynamic industry:

As is the case with the Travel sites, majority of visitors are from US, followed by
Australia, Canada, UK and India. ResponsibleTravel is again an anomaly, where
