Continuing from recent post on Current Internet status and web analytics opportunities in India, this post focuses on Online travel industry in India

Before you proceed! here’s what the post is all about

1. Current Online Travel status and emerging trends
2. Top Travel sites in India and Web Analytics Tool Used
3. Summary of opportunities

India is clearly an emerging leisure online travel market, attracting millions in start-up funding,the Indian online travel industry is in full form.Online travel is expected to be a $2-billion industry. Interestingly, more than 17 per cent of all the flight tickets booked in India are done via Internet websites.

Online travel company MakeMyTrip (MMT) has recorded sales of Rs. 1000 crore for the financial year ending March 2008, as per a release. However the air ticketing space has seen margins erode and with competition coming not only from other travel sites but also the airlines themselves, MMT has started looking at other avenues like railway ticketing, tour packages and even bus tickets.

The government announced a $2-billion public-private partnership to provide broadband and internet connectivity in India’s rural areas.

Union Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology Jyotiraditya Madhavrao Scindia, speaking at Global Telecom Summit here, said that $1.5 billion for the project would be generated from the private sector and the balance would be funded from government sources.

The minister also announced 112,000 broadband centres would be set up in rural areas across the country, within a year.

“We will also have a policy for Wi-Max so that connectivity for broadband, particularly for rural India, becomes easier and convenient. The entire countryside would be provided with this facility, largely under the public-private partnership,” Scindia disclosed.

The ministry of communication & IT is also expected to unfold its third generation of mobile phone standards and technology - 3G service - guidelines by June this year. The 3G services are expected to be rolled out by the end of current year, said the minister.
