Abstract
The travel industry is one of the few industries where there is an increased interest among consumers for on-line reservations. The purpose of this study is to explore and describe consumers’ attitudes towards travel reservations and purchases on the Internet. A questionnaire was distributed to 400 consumers in Gothenburg. The study indicates that consumers generally have a positive attitude towards travel reservations and purchases on the Internet, although the perceived risks are high. Certain consumers consider the payments insecure. A reservation confirmation is of crucial importance to consumers’ willingness to make their travel reservations on the Internet.
