Morgan estimates OTAs with High International Hotel Exposure Are Likely to Outperform Online hotel sales have been growing at a considerable pace. According to PhoCusWright data total 2007 online sales increased over 30 in local currency aided by higher average daily rates and increased leisure and corporate demand. Hotel growth considerably outpaced website gross bookings growth of traditional airlines which increased only 16 in 2007. Additionally we think hotel products will continue to have higher revenue margins for OTAs and less of a supplier competition threat given the highly fragmented market. PhoCusWright data shows that hotels account for only 12 of supplier website bookings vs. traditional airlines and LCCs which each have a 34 share of supplier website bookings. We think both revenue and profitability will grow as OTAs increase their hotel inventories.
