The global market cap witnessed massive losses during 2020 and the beginning of 2021 due to travel restrictions witnessed in all countries. For the whole of 2020, most countries had stopped accepting foreign nationals from other countries and this was observed in more areas that were the most affected by the virus, for instance, India, China, South Africa, and the United States to name a few. However, by the end of 2020, as borders started operations, the global market picked up a slow but steady pace.

The global online travel market is projected to grow owing to rising consumer awareness in developing nations. In countries that already have an existing consumer database, the growth is steady however, more growth is expected driven by regions that have a lot of consumers left unexplored and with the market penetration of IT and the internet, the global market revenue is anticipated to reach newer heights. Another contributing factor is the rise in the number of international students who prefer to study in international colleges for higher exposure. For instance, as of January 2021, more than 1.1 million Indian students were studying in 85 other international countries. As per official data by the Higher Education Statistics Agency, over 605,130 students were of international origin pursuing degrees in the United Kingdom. In 2021, over 30% of international students were known to be of Chinese origin.

The growing digital fraud may restrict the global market expansion while the rise in prevailing offers on digital travel booking is expected to attract more customers. However, problems with application-related bookings are projected to challenge the global market expansion.

North America is anticipated to lead the global online travel market with the United States leading the regional market share.

Increasing tourism in European countries like Spain, Portugal, the UK, and others will contribute to the regional market share.
