U.S. Online Travel Overview Sixteenth Edition

Summary

The U.S. travel sector's return to health slowed somewhat in 2015, and due to geopolitical events the market barely managed to grow at all in 2016. While leisure demand was resilient, weakness in the corporate sector was a significant headwind, especially for airlines. U.S. travelers' desire to explore and to get away is unabated, but how much they will be able to increase their travel spend is unclear. Growth in the 4-5% range is projected through 2020, bringing the total travel market to US$403.3 billion.
