Over the past five years, travel agencies have faced numerous challenges and undergone significant transformations. Although international travel by US residents rebounded strongly in 2022, persistent inflationary pressures have moderated revenue growth. In 2025, the industry is expected to experience slower demand from both domestic and foreign tourists due to trade uncertainty. Overall, due to a low pandemic base year, revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.3% to $46.4 billion over the five years to 2025, including a projected 4.2% growth in 2025 alone. Profitability has remained a critical challenge, with competitive online travel platforms like Expedia and Priceline transforming the landscape. The rise of mobile technology has enabled consumers to independently research and book cost-effective travel options, posing a challenge to traditional brick-and-mortar agencies. In response, many agencies have shifted focus to cater to high-income, time-constrained customers desiring personalized services. Smaller agencies have seized this customization demand, while larger platforms have engaged in acquisitions to expand market share and diversify service offerings. Despite these strategies, maintaining profitability has proven difficult in an industry shaped by evolving technology and consumer preferences. In 2025, profit is expected to reach an estimated 10.2% of revenue. Looking ahead to the next five years up to 2030, customization is poised to remain a crucial differentiator. As disposable incomes rise, travel bookings are expected to increase, with consumers gravitating towards higher-margin, personalized services. Nonetheless, the pervasive influence of social media grants travelers greater access to destination insights, potentially reducing their dependency on travel agents. Peer-to-peer rental services are anticipated to flourish by providing affordable alternatives, while online booking platforms will likely retain their dominance due to their convenience. Further, a series of international sports events during the outlook period will spur demand for travel agencies, supporting revenue growth. Consequently, industry revenue is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 1.3%, reaching $49.5 billion over the five years to 2030, indicating a steady, albeit modest, expansion in a swiftly evolving market landscape.

Over the five years through 2025-26, revenue is projected to soar at a compound annual rate of 10.5%. Unsurprisingly, OTAs didn't escape the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and global travel restrictions, which brought plummeting sales, litigation threats and restructuring activity at the beginning of the five-year period. Bookings exploded following the scrapping of travel restrictions in March 2022. OTAs' troubles weren't over immediately when borders reopened – the spike in passenger numbers has taken time to translate into the same rise in revenue, with customers booking holidays using credit notes and vouchers amid COVID-19 backlogs. However, strong passenger numbers in the two years through 2025-26 are supporting strong OTA revenue growth.

Demand for travel has proved resilient despite the cost-of-living squeeze, with many making a holiday their top discretionary purchase. Travellers looking for great value have seen an uptick in package holidays. In 2025-26, revenue is anticipated to climb by 3.3% to reach £2 billion and the average industry profit margin is set to rise to 8.6%.

Over the five years through 2030-31, revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 2.8% to reach £2.3 billion. Competition from tourism providers will intensify as suppliers cut prices and boost loyalty programme rewards to attract bookings. While OTAs may not be able to compete against airlines and hotels on price and loyalty programmes, they can emphasise personalisation. Social media is the new marketing norm and OTAs need to prioritise digital marketing. Younger travellers especially trust these platforms, as 59% of Gen Z use Instagram, 54% turn to YouTube and 47% rely on TikTok for holiday inspiration, according to Sky Scanners ‘The Future of Travel’ report in November 2025. As momentum gains on sustainable travel intent, so does the opportunity for OTAs to further efforts in building and communicating more sustainable travel experiences.
