by Henry H. Harteveldt

Executive Summary

US travelers are more likely to own technology devices and equipment, including flat-panel TVs, laptop computers, and digital cameras, than people who don't travel. But not all travelers are alike.

Travelers' adoption of high-tech devices complicates how travel marketers reach them.
