    MethodologySpecial Note:

    In the India Online study this year (2007), the width and depth of sample coverage was increased significantlyby including samples from 20K 50K population towns as well, and by sampling all SEC groups (A to E)extensively in all the 31 towns. This makes the India Online 2007 multipliers highly robust and representativeof all SEC groups.

    As the sample collected in this quarters online travel brand track survey had good representation from SEC

    D and E also, these respondents have been included and analyzed in this quarters report.

    However, as SEC D and E were not included in the last quarters report (due to insufficient sampleachievement), the quarter-to-quarter comparison of profile of online travel users and some of their usagebehavior is likely to show noticeable variation. The variations are significant because they bring in thecumulative annual effect of changed multipliers (April 2007 against April 2006).

    Yet it needs to be kept in mind that the effects of these two phenomenon are likely to get manifested morenoticeably in user profiles and some travel usage behavior (by making them more representative of the currentsituation) but not so noticeably in brand preferences and usage.

    This is so because a lower SEC profile may imply lower propensity to travel and a possible lower access tointernet (and hence to a travel portal) per se. But once the person is on the net there is no higher possibilityof one travel portal being accessed more than the others per se (as there are no economic or technicalbarriers to access any specific travel portal) - the only barrier is in the mind of the person of being aware ornot aware of the brand names of these travel portals.

    Brand Track

    With 27% top of mind ad recall, Yatra for the first time overtakes Makemytrip which manages 26%top of mind ad recall. However, Makemytrip continues to lead the top of mind brand recall forthe category at 26%, while Yatra follows at 23%

    Though Makemytrip also leads marginally in spontaneous brand recall (at 43%), Yatra overtakesMakemytrip again at the aided brand awareness level (70% against Makemytrips 68%)

    But overall, Makemytrip performs better than Yatra in terms of brand recall as 43% of its brandawareness is top of mind against only 33% for Yatra

    Makemytrip also continues to lead brand associations for most of the key category attributes.But Yatra follows as a close second on most of them. Air Deccan also catches up on lowest airfare attribute association

    Almost all the key travel portals get similar levels of per capita average of number of visits totheir website. Only Travelguru gains in both per capita visits and bookings compared to the lastquarter

    Though both IRCTC and Yatra improved their visit-to-book ratio compared to the last quarter, itis IRCTC which shows a better visit-to-book conversion ratio of 0.38

    Brand Track Leaving aside IRCTC, Makemytrip comes back to lead the category in terms of secondary consumer

    share at 36%. Yatra follows at 33% share. Yatra is the only key player to lose secondary user sharenoticeably (by 6% points), and thereby loses the top slot to Makemytrip

    In terms of primary consumer share, Makemytrip again leads the category at 28%. Yatra follows next,with 23% share. Makemytrip, Yatra and Travelguru gain primary user share compared to the lastquarter

    Makemytrip continues to show the best secondary-to-primary user share conversion ratio of 77%.Yatra is not far behind at 71%.

    Yatra shows the highest brand momentum in the current quarter. While Makemytrip, IRCTC and AirDeccan decelerate, Yatra, Travelguru and Cleartrip accelerate in their brand momentum

    Makemytrip decelerates due to drop in all the three brand speed factors (persuasion, pull andloyalty). Yatra accelerates despite drop in brand pull, as it more than covers up for it in persuasion,loyalty and increased mass

    In the next quarter, Yatra, IRCTC and Travelguru are expected to gain primary share while Makemytriplikely to lose some. If the indicative trend come true, then Yatra is expected to emerge as the newcategory leader for online travel by the end of the next quarter

    reflects only a correction due to inclusion and better representation of lower SEC groups D and E in the user base from thisquarter. Till last quarter, the user base in the brand track study reflected only SEC A, B and C.
