If you some of you could just answer some of these questions, it would be greatly appreciated.
I figure it's faster and easier than standing out in the cold in the city centre asking grumpy people lol.
Some of the answers to the questions are obvious, like how successful the Internet is and how it’s a substitute for many things.

Questions:
1. Do you think the Internet is an established market place for tourism?
2. Which market segments are most prone to using the Internet?
3. Do you use the internet to book/find a holiday? (Yes or No)
-What age group do you come under (15-20, 21-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+)?
4. Which tourism product(s) do you buy most?
5. Will the Internet becomes the dominant channel for tourism distribution? Why?
6. Are you addicted to Beyond.ca? :D

And feel free to discuss about this topic, thanks a lot!

To make it easier just copy the numbers below and just add yes/no.

1. Yes. It provides easy, quick comparisons between resorts, airlines, and travel agencies.
2. Domestic/U.S./European
3. Not yet, but I will when the time comes. (15-20)
4. Airfare, hotels, tickets to attractions (eg. ski resorts)
5. Absolutely. People, though they enjoy talking to other people, love to save money even more. That's why cut-price travel sites are flourishing, as anyone can shop around in an afternoon of Web surfing and find the best deals available.
6. Look and my posts-per-day and draw your own conclusions. ;)

1. Yes
2. Domestic/Euro
3. Yes
21-29
4. Tickets (airplane, bus and shows) I planned my entire UK trip for 15 days on the internet. No packages or anything, but booked my plane to and from calgary, busses and planes around the UK, hotels, B&B's and even a theatre production in London and a 1.5 hour taxi ride at 4 in the morning across scotland :)
5. Yes, it makes things so much easier and you can do it all in your own time, no following a travel agent's hours.
6. Too much so to admit happily :)
