We present the list of the spaces that have become the most popular sites to book accommodation or lodging for travelers.
By now, it is well known that the pandemic has hit various industries and, even today, for several of them the return to normality is still complicated.
One of the most affected by the rise of the global health crisis was the air transport industry, which, according to an IATA study, during 2021, this industry recorded revenue of 231 billion dollars (less than half if we buy the 607 billion dollars in 2020).
On the other hand, according to information from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), it has been announced that the tourism industry could return to normal, not before 2024, but showing considerable growth compared to the previous year.
Taking these latest data into account, it is a natural scenario, because, despite the fact that the situation with Covid-19 seems more controlled thanks to the arrival of the vaccine against the disease, there is still a latent risk and fear among users. to start traveling.
However, it is an industry that has begun to operate and not only that, but other spaces are once again gaining prominence.
An example of this can be corroborated in the list of sites from where users are dedicated to booking their accommodation online, such as Trivago, Airbnb, Booking.com and Hotels.com, among others.
In the United States alone, and with Covid-19 travel restrictions having eased significantly around the world, users are once again itching to travel this summer, which is why Booking.com, Hotels.com and Expedia are the three Internet sites that have become the favorites of Americans to make their reservations.
This is shown by the graph deposited above in which these sites, according to the Statista Global Consumer Surveyhave 30, 29 and 28 percent, respectively, of Internet users’ preference.
And it is that, ultimately, let us not forget that, now, the context looks different because there is a greater number of Internet users today.
The latest report from We Are Social and Hootsuite, Digital 2022, indicates that, at the moment, there are about five billion people gathered on the web platform.
