Mobile optimized travel sites are critical in UK
[ 15.06.2015 ]
UK consumers are no strangers to researching and booking trips online. eMarketer estimates that there will be 28.3 million digital travel researchers in the UK this year, representing 67.0% of internet users. Among this group, 25.8 million, or 61.0% of internet users, will go on to book this way.
Based on research by comScore cited by Expedia Media Solutions, this group is increasingly mobile. Fully 10.3 million UK digital travel content visitors between December 2014 and February 2015 were mobile-only, vs. 10.0 million who relied solely on a desktop or laptop. In all, the total number of mobile visitors, including those who were mobile-only or PC and mobile users, was 25.0 million. Results highlighted the importance of mobile-optimized browsers for UK travelers. Two-thirds of smartphone travel content visitors used only browsers, vs. 21% who were app-only and 13% who used a blend. Browsers were even more important on tablets, with 81% of visitors via such devices relying solely on sites to access travel content, vs. 10% of app-only visitors and 9% who used both.
