(NASDAQ: EXPE), today released the results of the 2014 Expedia<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\/Egencia Mobile Index, a global study of mobile-device-related behavior and preferences among travelers in North America, South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The study revealed the deep dependence modern travelers have on their mobile devices \u2013 defined as a smartphone, tablet, e-reader, laptop or smartwatch. Worldwide, 94% of people bring at least one mobile device when they take personal vacations, and 97% bring at least one device on business trips.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 2014 Expedia\/Egencia Mobile Index was commissioned by Expedia and conducted online by Northstar, a global research and consulting firm. The study was conducted among 8,856 employed adults across 25 countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are entering a new era where people are moving fluidly across desktop, phone, tablet, even wearables as they dream, plan, book and then ultimately take their trip,\u201d said Dara Khosrowshahi, President and Chief Executive Officer, Expedia, Inc. and President, Expedia Worldwide. \u201cTravelers are not only researching and booking trips on mobile, but they\u2019re also complimenting their meals, complaining to providers and capturing every trip detail. This is the new normal when it comes to travel. We chose to take a closer look at multi-device habits amongst both leisure and business travelers worldwide to better understand how technology is being used throughout the journey so we can continue to deliver contextually relevant mobile experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor business trips, mobile devices are already a requirement for most travelers, and mobile usage trends are still increasing. This is because mobile devices and enabling-apps make corporate travel smoother and more productive. Our study makes clear how business travelers integrate mobile functionality into their trips, and helps us develop the best experience on whatever device they use,\u201d says Rob Greyber, President of Egencia.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobile devices effectively serve as a concierge, guide and companion for travelers, who rely on smartphones and other mobile devices at every stage.<\/strong> On the whole, 76% of travelers say that their smartphones are \u201cvery important\/critical\u201d to their daily lives. 70% say the same about their laptop, and 48% say the same about their tablet device. Indians are the most dependent on smartphones, with 95% categorizing the device as \u201cvery important\/critical.\u201d The world\u2019s least smartphone-dependent people can be found in Norway, where only 57% consider their smartphone to be critical\/very important. More than one-third (35%) of the world\u2019s travelers use their smartphones more when they travel than they do at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobile Etiquette Held in High Regard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 2014 Expedia Mobile Index revealed that travelers are well attuned to mobile device etiquette.
