Online travel platforms account for a small share of U.S. accommodation bookings

In the U.S. rooms booked using online travel platforms accounted for almost a quarter of the total room nights booked in the country. This share appeared to be dropping slightly between 2017 and 2021 but was further accelerated by the global pandemic in 2020 and 2021. This was likely a derect result of fewer international visitors in the country, of which tend to favor online platforms to book accommodations and holidays in the United States.
