According to a new report published by EyeforTravel Research, Europeans spent an estimated EUR 81 billion on accommodation in 2007, including travel within and outside of Europe. The majority is spent on hotel accommodation and other accommodation such as camping, hostels, etc make up 18% of the total. Southern Europeans spend the most on accommodation and next up are the Germans and these markets account for half of all hotel nights in Europe. However, it is the UK that spends over the average on accommodation pppn.
All online travel market sectors in Europe grew at least a fifth in value in 2007, though the hotel sector saw the fastest growth at 36%, as suppliers are becoming increasingly internet savvy and marketing their inventory through a variety of distribution channels. It is pointed out that intermediaries and GDS’s are also tapping into the vast array of independent hotels Europe beholds, by continuously increasing their inventory.
Further information about the European online travel market can be found in EyeforTravel’s European Online Travel Report 2008.
