While many people like to head away to rest and relax, it seems that a very large majority still don’t want to miss out on what’s happening in the online world while on holidays. According to Twitter, over 90% of their UK members are going on holiday this summer with 2 in 3 of this number using Twitter while they’re away.
These holiday makers will be using Twitter for activities such as communicating with their friends, staying on top of the news and of course making all of their followers jealous by sharing some holiday snaps!

A whopping 95% will access Twitter by their mobile device while away and 71% will tweet about their holiday while they are on it.
Additionally, a massive 57% will use Twitter to stay in contact with people they know.
