Is the travel pie still growing? Where are the GDS companies in non-air travel planning?

October 12, 2007

LeisureLogix Takes Back the Road with Its Personalized Road Trip Planning and Booking Tool | www.forbes.com

The GDS industry, which earns its money primarily from the travel agency community (both online and offline) booking airline tickets, has been said to be totally commoditized and destined for decline.  In 2005 (the last year that all reported their earlings publicly), globally the GDSs processed 1.3b bookings and earned $8.7b in Gross Revenues and yielded $774.1m in EBITDA collectively. The interesting statistic behind all of this is that out of the total US Travel market, which in the same year yielded 1.4b trips, of those trips, less than 10% of them were by air.  The balance of travel was by car, motorcycle, RV, train or bus.  Yet, the GDS companies do not have a product that addresses the drive market. For 2007 the Travel Industry Association reports that US spending on travel was $733.9b.  Of that, just 35% was sold electronically (which includes travel agencies and online agents).
