Phocuswright Inc.: Canada's Travel Industry Fails to Keep Pace as Travelers' Mobile Expectations Accelerate
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 01/15/15 -- Home to one of the first leaders in the global smartphone revolution, the storied maker of the BlackBerry messenger and smartphones, Canada has been somewhat sleepy when it comes to the mobile travel revolution. According to , a new publication by travel industry research authority Phocuswright, gross bookings via mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) remain well below that of the U.S., Europe and even Asia, with mobile as a share of all online bookings still in the low single digits.
"When it comes to mobile, Canada's travel industry -- with a few exceptions -- has let the consumer pass it by. The Canadian traveler is already there," said Phocuswright's vice president, research, Douglas Quinby. "Four in five Canadian travelers own mobile devices and a significant minority of travelers use their devices across a range of travel activities."
More than 40% of mobile travelers researched local activities or destinations on their devices. Over one third of travelers with smartphones also have researched travel products (i.e., hotel rooms or flights) or accessed their existing travel reservations.
