Well, this is really good news for travel fans. Expedia.com and Travelocity are both heading to India. Travelocity will be coming to India via Zuji, its Singapore based online company which will be opening a Travelocity India site and Expedia.com has not announced who it will be tying up with for operations in India. According to the Internet and Mobile Association of India, the online travel segment is one of the fastest growing of all e-commerce sectors, with transactions increasing from 207,000 a month in 2003-04 to 795,000 in 2005-06.
We traveled a lot last year, flying 6 times for personal reasons and 3 times for business purposes. The only tickets we purchased from traditional travel agents were for our international trips, 2 for personal and 3 for business trips. We also did all our other bookings for car rentals, hotels stays etc for both our US and Canada trips online. It just makes more sense to buy tickets online now. The process is simple, the bookings secure and the headache saved by not relying on an agent, priceless.
