The most recent report, L2 Digital IQ Index for travel, explored "digital competency" of travel brands and found that airlines and hotels were the most successful. One of the most fascinating points of the study showed how users will often return back to social media websites after investigating a destination website of a travel brand. This behavior reveals a lesser explored opportunity for travel websites.
Within the study, airlines rose to the top. Delta, Southwest and American Airlines took the top three positions for "digital competency." It makes sense that the airline industry is a path-finder for Internet innovation, since more than 50% of airline sales are made online.
Central to the study was the role that social media took in the conversion of customers.
