Data centre hosting firm City Lifeline interviewed 105 attendees at this year's Travel Technology show to measure disaster recovery plans in the travel industry.

The survey found that almost a fifth (17 percent) of respondents admitted to not having a disaster recovery plan in place, as they felt "it wasn't necessary for their business".

But when questioned further about how they will be allocating their IT budget this year, over a third (35 percent) said they will be investing in data centre facilities and equipment.

Another 34 per cent said their budget priority was improving online booking capabilities, whilst 20 percent said they will be looking to extend their mobile facilities, due to an increase in mobile bookings.

Only 10 percent said they will be allocating budgets to combating the rise of online fraud.
