The survey also found 92% of respondents planning to use the internet for vacation planning are likely to check hotel and air prices, 88% expect to look at maps and routes, and 84% will probably check local activities.
“Internet use doesn’t stop after the vacation is over, with 80% of summer travelers expecting to use e-mail or the internet to share their vacation experiences after they get home,” the study said.
The survey was conducted by I/H/R Research Group on behalf of SBC Communications.
