The New York Times > Technology > E-Commerce Report: Online Travel Industry Tries to Adjust to Maturity

The travel reservations sector of the internet marketplace is strong, but maturing, according to Bob Tedeschi.

"By most measures, travel is the Web's most developed category. According to comScore, online leisure travel bookings reached about $51 billion last year, or 44 percent of all online sales. Roughly 30 percent of all travel bookings occur online - a far greater share than, say, retailing, where less than 5 percent of all sales are recorded on the Internet."
