Stockformation Commentary

Online travel in Canada
01/18/99

Forrester research predicts that the online travel market will be worth $4.2
Billion annually by 2003. So it is clear that more and more people will use
the Internet in order to purchase travel services, but the question remains as
to which companies are set to profit from this trend. The current favourites
include Travelocity.com and Expedia.com, which was the first Microsoft
spin-off. These sites have enjoyed success in the sense that they have helped
in convincing one quarter of the American population to make an online
travel purchase. Are there any Canadian comparitives that are set to profit
from this growth? There are some interesting Canadian companies which
may provide potentially successful small cap stock plays such as
Travelbyus.com, which is interlisted on the Toronto [TBU.TO] and
Frankfurt stock exchanges and is due to launch its website on Friday. The
company`s COO, Peter Adam was optimistic in his conversation with
Stockformation, saying that the site will be unique in that it has aggregated
traditional companies to give it an edge on the web. The Travelbyus "clicks
and mortar" strategy has been played out in a series of acquisitions, which
have included the Nasdaq listed Cheap Tickets [CTIX.O] and The Travel
Magazine, and the formation of relationships with existing travel agents.

Although the site aims to become a major player throughout North America,
the company`s real advantage may lie in the fact that it has a presence and is
building a name here in Canada. The Canadian online travel market is less
mature than that in the US, in that only one in ten of us have ordered a travel
service using the Internet. It is interesting that 49% of Canadians use the
Internet as a travel research tool, but yet relatively few actually make the
purchase. This is understandable when you realize that online travel has the
highest spending level of all e commerce categories, twice the spending of
the next highest category, PC Hardware. (Jupiter Communications). The
average price paid by those Canadians who did make a purchase was over
$800 which went to sites such as Travelocity.ca. Other Canadians
expressed worries concerning client support in the event of flight
cancellations.(Forrester Research)

So part of the challenge for Canadian online travel companies will be to
convert "lookers to bookers", although Mr Adam points out that
Travelbyus.com is designed as an information source as well as a booking
center, and believes that to be part of its appeal. Successful web sites will
need to demonstrate excellent customer service and demonstrate a visible
Canadian presence in order to gain consumer confidence. No company has
yet become dominant as an online travel retailer in the same way that
Chapters.ca has done so with books. On Saturday, the Travelbyus.com
website was tested for three hours in what was supposed to be an internal
trial. This short period resulted in over 300,000 page impressions which
generated excitement among small cap stock traders both here and in
Germany and sent the stock up to a high of $5.15 yesterday which is not far
off its 52 week high. So we can only wait to see if Travelbyus.com will be
successful, and if so, whether their success will transcend into the Canadian
market.
