Before the trip • Information search process
– External information
•Active use of information sources
•Even though social media is used a lot in general, its role in active information search is still relatively small.
•30 % of travelers search for social media for discounts and offers (PhoCusWright, 2012).
•"We've found that 65 per cent of travelers won't even book a hotel if it hasn't had a review written about it.“ (http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/30/tech/social-media/review-economy-tomorrow-transformed/)
– User generated content is more reliable than official travel websites, travel agents and marketing. (Fotis et al. 2012).
