Travel Agent The online travel market targeted by the new e-Travel represents a huge opportunity. According to PhoCusWright, in the US alone, combined online corporate and leisure activity represented US$ 28.2 billion last year. This figure is expected to grow to US$ 56.6 billion in 2003. Amadeus estimates that the US online travel market currently represents only 40 per cent of the global opportunity, with Europe and Asia Pacific set for strong growth in online travel activity.

With European flight searches reaching over six million per month, this week www.skyscanner.net is launching in India, helping users find price and availability on the best flight deals online. From overseas visitors looking for cheap internal flights to domestic travellers hoping to find last minute availability, internet users can now find accurate pricing and date information for the major budget airlines that serve India a truly essential tool to aid independent travel in the country.
