US travel e-commerce sales exceeded $100 billion for the first time last year, reaching $103 billion, according to new figures from comScore. To put that figure in context, last year’s record retail (non-travel) e-commerce spend stood at roughly $186 billion, meaning that the online travel market is more than half the size of the retail market online. Overall, online travel sales grew by 9%, while retail e-commerce sales increased by 15%.
