Travellers who buy over the Internet are more likely to buy airline tickets than to rent cars or make hotel reservations, according to a survey by BURST! Media.

The BURST! study, based on a survey of 3,500 adults who had travelled overnight at least once in the last six months, found that 79.3% of those who made online purchases bought airline tickets, while 67.7% booked hotel rooms on the web and only 37.5% rented cars online. In general, 43% of the respondents had made some type of travel-related purchase online.
