In the U.S., a whopping 90% of travelers say they use their cellphones while on vacation, according to a survey by TripAdvisor released Wednesday.
When you consider that 90% of American adults own a cellphone, according to Pew Research, it's clear the mobile device is a constant fixture for the vast majority of us.
While on vacation, U.S. travelers are using their cellphones for both business and leisure. According to TripAdvisor, 52% of travelers use their phones to look for things to do, 62% use their phones to find restaurants, and 73% rely on their phones to find their way around.
Although 62% of travelers said they were using their phone to check email while on vacation, there was an upside: Just 31% said they were checking business email.
Cellphone use has become ubiquitous, but mobile booking still has room to grow. Only 27% of travelers said they used their phone to look for hotels, and just 45% of hotels allow guests to book rooms from a mobile device.
