Methodology: What “Most Used” Means Here
“Most used” is defined here as highest worldwide website traffic position in Similarweb’s June 2026 Travel & Tourism ranking. We filtered the published list to consumer platforms whose core service allows travelers to book or compare accommodation and/or flights across multiple properties or providers.
The ranking therefore excludes ground-transportation services, attraction-only marketplaces, travel-information sites and individual airline or hotel-chain websites. The Similarweb Travel Rank column preserves each platform’s position in the broader travel category before filtering.
Important limitation: website traffic is not the same as completed bookings, revenue, unique customers or app usage. Similarweb metrics are estimates, and mobile apps represent a major part of modern travel shopping. This list measures global web attention—not total market share.
1. Booking.com
Booking.com is the clear web leader, ranking No. 1 across Similarweb’s entire global Travel & Tourism category. Its broad inventory spans hotels, apartments, vacation rentals and, in many markets, flights and other trip components. An average visit of 7 minutes 34 seconds and 8.17 pages per visit suggests that travelers do substantial comparison work on the site.
2. Trip.com
Trip.com ranks second globally and combines hotel, flight, train and package booking in one platform. Its position reflects the growing international influence of Asian travel platforms and the value of a single account for multiple parts of an itinerary.
3. Airbnb
Airbnb is primarily an accommodation marketplace rather than a flight-booking service, but it belongs in this comparison because it is one of the world’s dominant places to reserve a stay. Its 14.36 pages per visit is the highest engagement figure among the ten selected platforms, indicating deep browsing across listings.
4. Agoda
Agoda ranks fourth in global travel traffic and remains especially strong for accommodation searches in Asia, while also offering flights and other travel products. Its five-minute average visit and six pages per session place it among the most actively browsed online travel agencies.
5. Expedia
Expedia is the fifth-most-visited travel website worldwide and one of the best-known full-service online travel agencies. Travelers can combine flights, hotels, cars and packages, making it particularly useful for comparing the total cost of a trip rather than a single reservation.
6. Tripadvisor
Tripadvisor begins with reviews and destination research, then connects users to hotel prices and booking options. It differs from a conventional online travel agency because much of its value lies in comparison and discovery, but its No. 6 global travel position shows how closely research and booking behavior remain connected.
7. Vrbo
Vrbo is the highest-ranked platform outside Similarweb’s overall travel top 10 to qualify for this filtered list. It focuses on whole-home vacation rentals, serving families and groups that want an alternative to traditional hotel rooms or shared-property stays.
8. Hotels.com
Hotels.com concentrates on accommodation and ranks No. 19 in the broader travel category. Its 6.48 pages per visit is higher than several larger multi-product platforms, consistent with a browsing process built around comparing properties, room types and dates.
9. MakeMyTrip
MakeMyTrip ranks No. 20 globally in Travel & Tourism and is a major all-in-one booking platform in India. Hotels, flights, trains, buses and holiday packages give it a broad domestic ecosystem as well as international travel utility.
10. Skyscanner
Skyscanner closes the Top 10 after ranking No. 23 in Similarweb’s full travel list. It is principally a metasearch platform: users compare flight and hotel options, then often complete the purchase with an airline, hotel or travel agency. That makes it especially valuable at the discovery and price-comparison stage.
What the Ranking Reveals
- Booking.com operates at a different scale online. Both Similarweb and Semrush-based estimates identify it as the category leader.
- Asia is central to online travel. Trip.com, Agoda and MakeMyTrip all reach the filtered global Top 10.
- Accommodation drives deeper browsing. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo record some of the highest pages-per-visit figures.
- Research and transactions overlap. Tripadvisor and Skyscanner show that many travelers compare first and book elsewhere.
How to Choose a Booking Website
Traffic rank tells you where travelers congregate, not which site will always offer the best deal. Compare the final price after taxes and fees, read cancellation terms, confirm whether the platform or supplier handles support, and check the airline or hotel’s direct price before paying. For complicated itineraries, the quality of post-booking support can matter more than a small headline discount.
