KAYAK YOUR WAY TO THE BEST TRAVEL OPTIONS
Travellers are making smarter and better decisions in picking out flights and
accommodation deals thanks to travel search engines and comparison sites. A
recent survey by KAYAK and GoBear of 1,090 people revealed that travellers
compared an average of four websites before making any purchases, with 18%
comparing more than six sites, and a surprising 2% comparing 11 sites and
more before making a booking. The survey also revealed other consumer
trends, such as about half of all respondents placing safety and security as their
number one priority when planning a trip, and that price was the most
important consideration when choosing an airline to fly with.
For travellers looking for a smarter way to compare prices, KAYAK is the
world’s leading travel search engine that searches other travel sites to show
travellers the information they need to find the right flights, hotels, rental cars
and vacation packages. The website and app, available on iOS and Android, also
offer tools like price alerts, price forecasts and free itinerary management for a
smooth trip from booking to arrival back home.
