Despite a variety of economic and political challenges throughout the region, Europe's total travel market continues to expand. Gross travel bookings will climb 2% to €286 billion in 2018. Except for traditional airlines, which will dip slightly, all other supplier segments are projected to notch at least modest gains. And while Europe represents one of the world's most mature online travel markets, online bookings are still growing faster than the overall market. Here are 7 key trends and developments in the European online travel market:

Total market enjoys modest gains
Online advances, but it's all about mobile
Suppliers winning battle for online bookings
Among OTAs, gulf widens between leaders and rest of the pack
Brexit and travel: Much ado about something?
