Knowing what your client wants and looking for on the internet could become very important for the hosts, since knowing these trends could increase their chances of becoming more attractive in the market.
As Smarttravel points out, every day online shopping becomes more and more common, in times of pandemic, it has become the main option. Shopping is of all kinds, and the tourism sector could not be left behind. That is why the Statista company has carried out an analysis of online purchases or reservations made by Spanish tourists.
Statista Global Consumer Survey
In this sense, according to the Statista Global Consumer Survey, the travel products that Spanish Internet users have acquired to a greater degree through the Internet in the last year are hotels (with 38% of the responses) and plane tickets (with 27%). In contrast, the least popular items to buy online in this period were tour packages (4%) and cruises (1%).
Tourist apartments are also in high demand, with 22% of bookings being made online. This is followed by the booking of long-distance train tickets, with 17%, and car rentals, with 12%.
Conclusion
It is important to know these trends, since you could include in your accommodation the possibility of offering your future guests the opportunity to book from there any other service that is within those already mentioned, or include in the stay perhaps some of these services, and thus add a few points when the tourist wants to select an accommodation.
