Summary
With online purchase conversion rates increasing, travel eCommerce execs are doing a lot of things right. But Forrester's Consumer Technographics® data shows that there are some nagging issues that keep Web travelers from booking online. Of Web travelers' top five reasons for abandoning booking online, three reasons — concern about credit card security, inability to make specific requests online, and frustration with site performance — have shown noticeable growth in one year. These obstacles are not insurmountable but will require commitment to: 1) implementing best-in-class security practices; 2) updating legacy reservations, property management, and operations systems to give travelers a greater level of control online; and 3) conducting usability tests and expert reviews to audit Web site failures in the booking process.
