Executive Summary

In a soft market, travel eBusiness professionals will succeed only if they first master the essentials: knowing what categories of destinations US online leisure travelers visit and the types of trips they research online.

Instead, the Internet plays a larger role for niche destinations like spa and ski vacations. Of the many reasons for taking a leisure trip, travelers will turn to the Web for trips that involve more consideration, such as family vacations and romantic getaways, versus casual trips, such as visiting friends and relatives.
