Online Travel Industry In India

Online travel company Make My Trip (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.

Yatra Online is another well-funded travel portal that is looking at raising more capital. The company is looking at offline retail outlets for selling its travel services to grow revenues.

They have a planned outlay of Rs. 20 million over the next 12 months for the offline retail initiative. They have also roped in SIFY as a partner and Yatra services can be availed of from over 7000 SIFY cyber cafes across the country.

Travel websites, such as Make My Trip India Pvt. Ltd and Yatra Online Pvt. Ltd, are battling to win over India’s Rs16,000 crore ($400 million) religious travel market.

Both companies control about 90% of the online travel market, according to Phocus Wright, a company that analyses travel market, and both said they are interested in expanding their fast-growing religious travel segments. There will be packages for all: Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Jains.
