U.S. Online Travel Overview Twelfth Edition

Summary

The U.S. travel market remained resilient in 2012, despite ongoing economic malaise and a weak recovery. The year was marked by slow growth of gross domestic product (GDP), high unemployment, a feeble housing market and declines in household income. Yet travelers persevered, taking vacations and business trips despite the economy. Aided by rising prices and corporate travel demand, the total U.S. travel market reached new highs, with the online leisure/unmanaged business travel market sustaining double-digit growth. The outlook for 2013 remains guarded, as the U.S. fiscal cliff, European debt crisis and a slowing China economy fuel continued economic uncertainty.
