We were perusing travel specialists Frommer's website recently and stumbled upon their 2011 Digital Travel Content and User Experience Consumer Survey and found some very interesting stats. While the data might be a little older than we like, we think much of this still holds up. Here are some highlights:
- Facebook: 72% of 18-34 share travel experience via Facebook (33% general pop)
- Photo Gallery: 69% of 18-34 share travel experience (38% general pop)
- Hotel Reviews: 52% of 18-34 share travel experience (51% general pop)
- Travel Blog: 27% of 18-34 share travel experience (20% general pop)
- Twitter: 26% of 18-34 share travel experience (8% general pop)
- Foursquare/Gowalla: 9% of 18-34 share travel experience (2% general pop)
