TripAdvisor has teased out a few of the results from its new global TripBarometer report. The study is the result of a major poll among some 44,000 travellers and hoteliers (ratio of around 3:1) around the world. TripAdvisor has claimed that its hoteliers on the survey have cited online reputation management as a key investment area for the coming year. Top-line findings show 41% of travellers are likely to spend more on a trip during 2015, with just under one-quarter claiming they will spend less. Global room rates are expected to rise this year.
