A nice infographic by Tripl, entitled The Social Travel Revolution, shows that around 155 million US citizens (50%) have a Facebook account, while only 115 million (37%) have a passport.
Other snippets of information from the graphic include:
- 72 percent of social network users access their social networking sites on a daily basis while traveling (though only 7 percent use mobile Internet while traveling)
- One million passengers will board flights that have Gogo Wi-Fi this year
- 69 percent of travel companies have seen traffic growth from Facebook
- 46 percent of travel companies have seen traffic growth from Twitter
- The top five airlines have a total of over 2.5 million Facebook fans (Southwest, United Airlines, Lufthansa, American Airlines and Delta Airlines)
The full graphic is after the break, but be warned it’s huge!
