More People Booking Luxury Holidays Online

MANCHESTER, England, March 10, 2010 - More and more consumers are booking luxury holidays
(www.onlyexclusivetravel.com/) through the Internet. The travel
industry perhaps epitomises the consumer shift from the High Street to the
Internet. When it comes to travel, 55% of our holidays are now booked on the
world wide web with a further 17% researched on the Internet before being
booked over the phone. Only 7% of holidays are now booked in a High Street
Travel Agency.

The pull is obvious. The convenience of having all the information you
could possibly need at your fingertips from your own living room is pretty
hard to beat. And it really is all the information you could need. In fact,
the typical surfer now has more information available to them from home than
a travel agent in a High Street agency would have had just over five years
ago. Not only can a consumer compare prices from hundreds of travel companies
within seconds, but they can also find independent consumer reviews on
resorts, specific hotels and even holidays reps! Add to that the ability to
book and research 24 hours a day, in your pyjamas if you wish, and the
Internet has proven to be an unbeatable competitor for the High Street
agencies, with many companies choosing to shift much of their High Street
operation into telephone call centres and online operations.

As the Internet finds its way into even more homes and ever more
consumers become Internet savvy, the number of consumers booking luxury
holidays online looks set only to increase.

Only Exclusive Travel is a travel company specialising in high end,
luxury holidays and honeymoons.
