Customers' Attitudes Toward the Use of Online Travel Agency Websites' Travel Services: A Literature Review

Nguyễn Thị Lệ Vân

Nội dung chính của bài viết

Tóm tắt

The use of online travel agencies (OTAs) has experienced a surge in popularity in recent years, as a rising number of individuals depend on the internet for the purpose of organizing and reserving their travel arrangements. The objective of this literature study is to present a comprehensive analysis of customers' perceptions regarding the utilization of online travel agency (OTA) websites' travel services. The data for this review was obtained exclusively from the Google Scholar database, covering the period from 2008 to 2023. The extant body of literature pertaining to online travel agencies (OTAs) has delineated three primary domains of interest: the assessment of customer inclination to engage in transactions through OTAs, the determinants that shape customers' choices to avail OTA services, and the challenges encountered by OTA platforms. OTA channels have emerged as a valuable support mechanism for both enterprises and travel agencies, necessitating the implementation of several strategies to foster a favorable client disposition towards OTA services.
