The Internet has radically changed the manner in which U.S. adults obtain travel-related information. Nearly 93 million U.S. adults used the Internet to plan travel in 2009, up from 90 million a year earlier.
The percentage of U.S. adult Internet users who took a trip of 50 miles or more, one-way from home, was 72 percent in 2009. This translates into a market of approximately 122 million online business and leisure travelers.
Since 1993, the U.S. Travel Association has conducted studies to describe the impact of the Internet on the tourism industry. The Nestlé Library has received the 2010 edition of Travelers’ Use of the Internet. The current edition can be found on the library’s reference shelves (call number G156.5 I5 T72).
