Travel Intermediaries Business Market

How big is Travel Intermediaries Business Market in 2026?

The global travel intermediaries business market is estimated at USD 564.1 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 596.8 million in 2026. Over 2026 to 2036, sales of intermediary travel services are likely to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% and reach USD 1,048.7 million. Vacation packages will hold the largest share of service type sales in 2026, at 41.6%, as per FMI analysis.

Growth of the travel intermediaries business market rests on two shifts, more people flying and more trips planned with AI tools. The first shift is visible in airline traffic, with passenger numbers, counted by flight segment, forecast to rise from 4,967 million in 2025 to 5,085 million in 2026 [1]. In turn, agents and platforms have a larger pool of trips to package and sell. Sales of agency services also benefit from the large volume of airline sales, as airlines processed USD 1.05 trillion in sales in 2025 at a payment cost of USD 24.5 billion [2]. Adoption of AI trip planning is the second shift, led by the largest platforms. For instance, Booking Holdings announced a planned USD 100 million investment in Vayo, a personal travel agent, on October 14, 2026 [3]. FMI analysis expects AI planning to move more itinerary work onto intermediary platforms and raise service value per trip.

Table 1: Travel Intermediaries Business Market Size and Forecast (USD million), 2025 to 2036

Market size and forecast	Value
2025 market size	USD 564.1 million
Estimated market size in 2026	USD 596.8 million
Projected market size by 2036	USD 1,048.7 million
CAGR (2026 to 2036)	5.8%
Added sales, 2026 to 2036	USD 451.9 million

Key Market Trends & Insights

• By service type: Vacation packages will hold 41.6% of 2026 sales, given that bundled flights, hotels and transfers carry the highest service margin for agents.
• By mode of transport: Air bookings account for an estimated 63.5% of 2026 sales, as flights remain the main item in most intermediated trips.
• By mode of booking: Online channels are expected to hold 58.4% of 2026 sales, since apps and booking sites now handle search, comparison and payment in one flow.

Regional Highlights

• Fastest-growing country: The United States is expected to grow fastest, at a CAGR of 6.1% between 2026 and 2036, as AI booking tools and large outbound travel volumes widen platform reach.
• Growth across other countries: South Korea is set to grow at 6%, as travellers book trips abroad on mobile apps, and Japan at 5.9%, with support from group tours. Germany is next at 5.7%, as travellers value the legal protection of package holidays, slightly ahead of the United Kingdom at 5.6% and France at 5.5%. China has the lowest rate at 5.3%, as tighter platform regulation slows commission growth.

Growth of the travel intermediaries business market depends on air capacity and on the distribution systems that agents use. Amadeus reported 238.0 million Air Distribution bookings in the first half of 2026, a decline of 3.7% [4]. Lower booking counts through global distribution systems show that some airline sales are moving to direct and new channels. At the same time, distribution networks are adding fares from more airlines. Wizz Air content is to become available on the Amadeus Travel Platform for the first time, through the Amadeus Ticketless Access solution [5]. Once low-cost fares appear in agency systems, intermediaries have more flights to sell, which makes agents more useful to travellers.

Trips booked through agents and platforms are growing at different speeds, depending on the type of product. Net revenue at Trip.com Group came to USD 2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2026, 6% higher than a year earlier [6]. Packaged-tour revenue rose 8% to USD 171 million, and corporate travel revenue grew 11% to USD 114 million. Consequently, packaged and business travel are outpacing ticketing, which favours intermediaries with tour and corporate desks. Advertising is a further income line, and Booking Holdings unified Booking.com, Priceline and Agoda ads under BKNG Ads in May 2026 [7]. Income from advertising helps platforms afford lower commissions, which puts pressure on smaller agents.

New airline retailing standards are changing how intermediaries sell tickets. IATA said seven airlines are using or implementing the new Orders standard for airline bookings, with more than 20 expected to follow from 2027 [8]. Under the new standard, agents receive and manage airline bookings in a different format, so agency systems will need upgrades. Meanwhile, regulators are watching dominant platforms more closely. Trip.com Group accepted an administrative penalty decision from the State Administration for Market Regulation of China in July 2026 [9]. Closer oversight of large platforms can open room for smaller agents and supplier-direct channels.

Demand Intensity Analysis

Airline passenger counts give the broadest volume benchmark for intermediary demand. IATA estimated 4,967 million segment passengers in 2025 [1]. Spread over those passengers, the 2025 market estimate of USD 564.1 million works out to about USD 0.114 of intermediary income per traveller. The air segment, at 63.5% of 2026 sales or about USD 379.0 million, equals some USD 0.075 per forecast 2026 passenger. The low ratio shows that the market covers intermediary service fees only, and the gross value of tickets sold stays outside the estimate.

Airline sales give a value benchmark with a similar result. Airlines processed USD 1.05 trillion in sales in 2025 [2]. The 2025 market estimate equals about 0.054% of that sales pool. Agents earn fees on only part of airline sales, and many tickets are sold direct, so the ratio is small by design. Even modest gains in service fees per booking would therefore move the market more than passenger growth alone.

Prices of packaged and managed trips matter as much as volume, and a comparison of growth rates shows how much of the outlook depends on price. IATA forecasts passengers rising from 4,967 million in 2025 to 5,085 million in 2026, a gain of about 2.4% [1]. The 5.8% CAGR implies annual price and mix gains of about 3.3% above that passenger growth. Packages and corporate travel carry higher fees than single tickets, so the outlook assumes a steady shift toward bundled and managed trips.

Companies at the top of the travel intermediaries business market report revenues that put the estimate in context. Trip.com Group alone earned net revenue of USD 2.3 billion in a single quarter in mid-2026 [6]. One quarter at a single platform is therefore about 3.9 times the 2026 market estimate. Platform revenue includes hotel commissions, advertising and merchant margins, which fall outside the market definition of intermediary service fees. Amadeus Air Distribution revenue of EUR 1,584.7 million on 238.0 million bookings gives about EUR 6.66 per booking in the first half of 2026 [4]. Fee levels of that size per transaction indicate how thin intermediary service charges remain.

Analyst Perspective

“Travel intermediaries are moving from selling tickets to running whole trips, and AI planning tools will speed that shift. Agents that package flights, stays and services and handle disruption will keep earning fees, though plain ticket resale will shrink. Airline order systems and platform regulation will decide who controls the customer relationship over the next decade.”

How is the travel intermediaries business market segmented?

The market is segmented into service type, mode of transport, mode of booking, and region. Vacation packages are expected to lead service type with 41.6% share in 2026, and air leads mode of transport with an estimated 63.5%.

By service type: vacation packages, travel, and accommodation.

By mode of transport: air and others.

By mode of booking: online, offline, and direct.

By region: travel bookings sold in North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, East Asia, South Asia and Pacific, and Middle East and Africa, each with a distinct agency mix.

Why do vacation packages lead the travel intermediaries business market by service type?

Vacation packages are expected to lead service type sales with 41.6% share in 2026, ahead of travel services at an estimated 34.2% and accommodation near 24.2%.

Table 4: Service Type Share for the Travel Intermediaries Business Market (percentage share), 2026

Service Type	Estimated Share (2026)
Vacation Packages	41.6%
Travel	34.2%
Accommodation	24.2%
Total	100.0%

Table 5: Service Type Leadership and Market Growth for the Travel Intermediaries Business Market (segment and CAGR percentage), 2026 to 2036

Metric	Value
Global CAGR (2026 to 2036)	5.8%
Leading Segment	Vacation Packages

Vacation packages are expected to hold 41.6% in 2026, as bundling flights, hotels and transfers gives agents a margin that single tickets rarely offer. Travel services, at an estimated 34.2%, cover air, rail and ground ticketing with lower fees per sale. Accommodation, near 24.2%, earns commissions on hotel and rental bookings but faces direct competition from hotel brands. Packages also protect travellers under package travel rules, which builds trust in agents. Packages are expected to keep the lead through 2036, with accommodation gaining as alternative stays grow.

• Beach holidays, city breaks, cruises with flights and guided tours make up the vacation package segment.
• Packaged travel is growing at large platforms, and Trip.com Group reported packaged-tour revenue of USD 171 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 8% [6]. Package revenue growing faster than ticketing confirms that travellers prefer bundled trips.

Why does air lead the travel intermediaries business market by mode of transport?

Air is estimated to lead mode of transport sales with 63.5% share in 2026, ahead of other modes at about 36.5%.

Table 6: Mode of Transport Share for the Travel Intermediaries Business Market (percentage share), 2026

Mode of Transport	Estimated Share (2026)
Air	63.5%
Others	36.5%
Total	100.0%

Air is estimated at 63.5% of 2026 sales, as flights are the most complex and highest-value item in an intermediated trip. Supply of rail, coach, ferry and car rental add-ons makes up the other modes, at about 36.5%. Airline retailing is changing fast, though, as carriers push direct and order-based sales. Agents that update booking systems for new airline sales formats will help air keep the lead. Meanwhile, the travel agency services market is projected to grow at a 10.4% CAGR from 2026 to 2036. Air is likely to hold about two thirds of sales through the forecast period.

• Scheduled flights, low-cost carrier fares and charter seats make up the air segment.
• Airline payment costs shape how agents sell, and IATA put average card payment fees for airlines at 2.53% in 2025 [2]. Card costs at that level push airlines to steer agents toward cheaper settlement methods.

Why do online channels lead the travel intermediaries business market by mode of booking?

Online channels are expected to lead mode of booking sales with 58.4% share in 2026, ahead of offline agencies at about 27.3% and direct bookings near 14.3%.

Table 7: Mode of Booking Share for the Travel Intermediaries Business Market (percentage share), 2026

Mode of Booking	Estimated Share (2026)
Online	58.4%
Offline	27.3%
Direct	14.3%
Total	100.0%

Online channels are expected to hold 58.4% of 2026 sales, as apps and booking sites let travellers search, compare and pay in one flow. Buyer preference for human advice keeps offline agencies at about 27.3%, with a strong base in complex, group and senior travel. Direct bookings handled by intermediaries on behalf of suppliers hold near 14.3%. Online share keeps rising as AI assistants plan trips inside apps. Accordingly, FMI expects online channels to widen the lead, with offline agents focusing on high-touch trips.

• Online travel agencies, metasearch-linked booking sites and mobile travel apps make up the online channel.
• Platforms are building AI booking tools, and Booking Holdings launched Vayo in private beta in October 2026, with a planned USD 100 million investment [3]. AI agents of this kind keep more trip planning inside online channels.

What are the drivers, restraints, and opportunities in the travel intermediaries business market?

Growing passenger numbers and complex multi-product trips keep travellers using intermediaries. Direct airline and hotel sales squeeze agent fees, and AI planning tools and corporate travel open new demand.

• Driver: Travellers book more complex trips that combine flights, stays and activities, and intermediaries simplify comparison, payment and support.
• Restraint: Airlines and hotel chains push direct booking with loyalty perks, which reduces the commissions available to agents.
• Opportunity: AI trip planning and managed corporate travel let intermediaries charge for service and disruption handling.

Complex Trips Keep Travellers With Intermediaries

More complex trips are the main reason travellers keep paying for intermediary services. IATA forecasts 5,085 million airline segment passengers in 2026, up from 4,967 million in 2025 [1]. More travellers combine flights with stays and activities, which raises the value of packaged booking. As a result, intermediaries that bundle and support whole trips will keep winning volume through 2036.

Direct Booking Squeezes Agent Fees

Supply of airline seats through direct channels remains the main brake on intermediary growth. Amadeus Air Distribution bookings fell 3.7% to 238.0 million in the first half of 2026 [4]. Lower agency air bookings show that airlines are steering more sales to direct channels. Consequently, agents relying on ticket resale face fee pressure, and service-based pricing becomes necessary.

AI Planning and Corporate Travel Open New Demand

AI trip planning and managed business travel give intermediaries new services to sell. Trip.com Group reported corporate travel revenue growth of 11% in the second quarter of 2026 [6]. Managed business trips carry service fees and duty-of-care tasks that direct channels rarely offer. Agency markets in individual countries are also growing fast, with the UK travel agency services market projected to grow at a 10.9% CAGR from 2026 to 2036. Intermediaries that combine AI planning with corporate service will therefore capture the strongest growth.

Which country CAGRs are profiled in the travel intermediaries business market?

Table 8: Country CAGR Comparison for the Travel Intermediaries Business Market (CAGR percentage), 2026 to 2036

Country	CAGR
United States	6.1%
South Korea	6%
Japan	5.9%
Germany	5.7%
United Kingdom	5.6%
France	5.5%
China	5.3%

How do country-level CAGRs compare in the travel intermediaries business market?

FMI places the United States at the top with a 6.1% CAGR, 0.3 points above the 5.8% global rate, as large platforms invest in AI booking tools. South Korea (6%) and Japan (5.9%) also run slightly ahead of the global pace on strong outbound travel. German package travel runs close to the average at 5.7%. The United Kingdom (5.6%), France (5.5%) and China (5.3%) grow below the global rate, as mature package markets and platform regulation slow fee growth. North American agency demand stays strong, with the USA travel agency services market projected to grow at a 7.2% CAGR from 2025 to 2035.

• In the United States, AI booking tools and many large online platforms raise the value of intermediary services on each trip.

• In Japan, packaged tours and group travel keep offline and online agents relevant to senior travellers.
• German travellers rely on package holidays with legal protection, which supports established tour operators.
• The United Kingdom has a mature package holiday market, and low-cost carrier content in agency systems widens choice.
• France pairs strong domestic tourism with direct hotel booking, so agent fees grow slowly.
• Platform regulation in China raises compliance costs for the largest intermediaries and slows commission growth.

Country-wise Analysis

United States Travel Intermediaries Business Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

The United States hosts the largest online travel platforms, and investment in AI agents is rising. Booking Holdings announced a planned USD 100 million investment in Vayo, a personal travel agent, in October 2026 [3]. AI agents can handle planning and rebooking, which raises intermediary value per trip. FMI expects American intermediary income to rise at a 6.1% CAGR, ahead of every other profiled market.

Key takeaway: In the United States, travellers will lean more on AI planning tools from large platforms, which lets intermediaries earn more from each trip arranged.

South Korea Travel Intermediaries Business Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

South Koreans take many trips abroad for the size of the population, and most book travel on mobile phones. Popularity of concert tours and short-haul trips across Asia keeps app-based agents busy. Korean app-based agents are therefore likely to grow at a 6% CAGR.

Key takeaway: Korean travellers book short trips abroad by phone, so app-based agents will win most of the new bookings in South Korea.

Japan Travel Intermediaries Business Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

Older Japanese travellers still book through agents, which keeps the packaged tour business large. Use of group travel arrangements is also rising as inbound and outbound travel recovers. With steady demand from group tours and senior travellers, Japanese agency income is expected to grow 5.9% a year to 2036.

Key takeaway: Older Japanese travellers still prefer group and packaged tours, so agents that sell these trips will keep steady business in Japan.

Germany Travel Intermediaries Business Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

Consumer preference for package holidays keeps Germany among the largest package markets in Europe. Consumer preference for legally protected packages keeps tour operators and agents central to holiday sales. German tour operator and agency sales are set to rise at a 5.7% CAGR.

Key takeaway: German holidaymakers buy package trips for the legal protection those trips carry, so tour operators and travel agents remain the main sellers of holidays in Germany.

United Kingdom Travel Intermediaries Business Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

The United Kingdom has a mature agency sector and a strong low-cost airline base. Wizz Air content is to become available on the Amadeus Travel Platform for the first time [5]. Wider low-cost content in agency systems helps agents compete with direct airline sites. FMI sees British intermediary income growing at a 5.6% CAGR.

Key takeaway: British agents can now offer more low-cost airline fares through agency booking systems, which helps agents compete with airline websites for holiday sales.

France Travel Intermediaries Business Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

France has strong domestic tourism and many independent hotels that sell direct. Agents grow mainly through packages and outbound trips. Agency sales in France are likely to grow at a 5.5% CAGR as hotels push direct booking.

Key takeaway: Many French hotels sell rooms directly to guests, so agents in France will grow mainly by selling packages and trips abroad.

China Travel Intermediaries Business Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

Regulators in China are reviewing large online travel platforms more closely. Trip.com Group accepted an administrative penalty decision from SAMR in July 2026 and said rectification measures would follow [9]. Tighter oversight can limit commission growth for the largest platforms. FMI expects Chinese intermediary income to rise at a 5.3% CAGR, the lowest rate in the profile.

Key takeaway: In China, closer regulation of the largest travel platforms is likely to slow commission growth, even as people keep booking trips online.

Who are the notable companies in the travel intermediaries business market?

The profiled online platforms are Booking Holdings, Expedia Group, Trip.com Group, Airbnb and Traveloka. Distribution systems Amadeus IT Group and Sabre Corporation are also covered, along with Google Travel, Hopper and Corporate Travel Management.

Online travel platforms, distribution technology providers and specialist agencies compete for traveller and supplier relationships. Scale matters most in online booking, and Booking Holdings now sells advertising across Booking.com, Priceline and Agoda under one brand [7]. Unified advertising adds income beyond commissions, which strengthens large platforms against smaller agents. Amadeus and Sabre supply the systems that agents use, and FMI views the range of airline and hotel fares on offer as the main advantage for distribution providers. Hopper, Traveloka and Corporate Travel Management compete on mobile booking, regional reach and managed travel.

• Online travel platforms: Booking Holdings, Expedia Group, Trip.com Group, Airbnb and Traveloka.
• Distribution technology providers: Amadeus IT Group and Sabre Corporation.
• Search and specialist agencies: Google Travel, Hopper and Corporate Travel Management.
