Holidays and smartphones: a perfect tandem

Choosing our tourist destination , knowing how to get there, checking traffic , beach or weather forecasts ; finding our way around a new city we're not familiar with, booking a hotel room or a table at a restaurant , buying train, bus or plane tickets , booking seats on Blablacar or Amovens , reading reviews and opinions from other users or finding out what cultural and leisure activities are taking place where we're going. These are things we do more and more through our mobile phones. So much so that in many cases they have ended up replacing travel agencies, guidebooks, books and even the PC .

As an example, these data: [ctt template="11" link="fV461" via="yes" ]60% of smartphone users have used apps to search for accommodation, restaurants, or transportation at some point. @EnergySistem[/ctt]

Furthermore, 83% of Spaniards say their cell phone is essential for their summer vacation , prioritizing it in their suitcase ahead of their toothbrush, makeup, or shaving utensils. Surprising, isn't it?

On the other hand, the ASUS Study " Technology and Summer in Spain " reveals that 9 out of 10 Spaniards consider technology "essential" on their holidays , with the main reasons for use being the ability to stay connected with family and friends (77%) and searching for information (59%).

There's no doubt that mobile phones have recently become an essential tool , not only when it comes to organizing and preparing our vacations, but also when we arrive at our destination. The reason is as simple as the fact that these devices—which we always carry with us —allow us to make decisions on the spot and in real time , saving us time and money.

It's clear that your cell phone is going to be your best ally when it comes to planning the perfect vacation. So, always carry it with you, and of course, don't forget your Energy Extra Battery to stay connected.
