Especially younger travelers in Argentina like to book their trips
online, but travel-related Internet use is spreading in all age groups.
Argentina: Online Travel Market Trends, 2009-2011
Even though Internet usage in relation to travel has grown intensively in Argentina, both in terms of obtaining information
and making bookings, 90% of travelers departing in Argentina booked their trip or parts of it through travel agencies in 2009.
Especially younger travelers in Argentina like to plan and book their flights and accommodation online, while travelers aged
35 and older with more financial means like prefer to use travel agencies, because they do not trust the Internet and require
permanent personal contact with the travel agent. However, travel-related Internet usage is spreading in all age groups and
social layers.
Another trend among Argentine travelers is researching their desired trip online and then contacting a travel agency to check
the availability of better deals.
When it comes to finding information about travel, Argentine travelers ask their families and friends, go to travel agents
and use the Internet. While travelers taking organized tours primarily rely on their travel agencies, independent travelers use
the Internet in addition to recommendations from their family and friends and press articles.
Tourism organization websites, travel guide books and information centers are regarded as being reliable sources of
information, but are not used as much as printed brochures and TV travel programs. Furthermore, transport company
websites, social networking sites, video sharing sites, travel blogs and forums are used as sources of travel-related
information by Argentine travelers.
46% of travelers in Argentina consider web 2.0 sites as quite important, with Facebook in the lead allowing travelers to share
photos with their friends.
