Mobile device use in travel is staggering with over 92% of travelers bringing their phones on trips and 55% of them checking screens 1-5 times per hour (BankMyCell). The need to stay connected abroad is not just a ‘business trip’ feature with leisure consumers remaining on grid while on vacation. As devices themselves evolve, travelers are demanding more conveniences from their smartphones and usage during trips will continue to ramp up as more benefits are generated. The use of mobile devices in travel has 3 distinct stages:

Research and purchasing
Staying connected while on trip
Referring back to the trip after completion

Travel itself is heavily driven by preferences and trends, making data a very important and crucial part of business operations. This demand for device functionality creates new opportunities for travel businesses for optimizing marketing and gaining advantages in crowded marketplace.
