Insights from iResearch shows China's online travel gross merchandise value is estimated to reach $55 billion in 2015, $65 billion in 2016 and $75 billion in 2017. They attribute the growth in online travel to increasing volume of flights, hotels and packages, booked online.

To shed light on the growth of the Asian market and how mobile is driving consumer engagement and numbers for travel brands, Tim Gunstone, Managing Director for EyeforTravel said; "For travel brands in 2016, the channels for online marketing are becoming increasingly diverse. You are able to reach the consumer at a number of stages across the entire journey." Tim goes on to say; "There will be challenges and opportunities at the many touch-points and it is essential that travel brands are utilising the power of personalisation, mobile and social media in order to stay ahead of their competition and enhance the smart traveller experience."

With travel in Asia increasing both inbound and outbound with growing mobile usage, we look forward to a digital travel system that features continuous innovation, instant and personalised travel to engage populations, helping to build brand loyalty and in turn drive down costs with better resource management.
