VI.Reading Comprehension(Question44-50)
It wasn’t that long ago that your holiday started with a trip
to your local travel agent. Today, travelers are increasingly
sorting out their travel arrangements using smartphone and tablet
apps. This trend led US travel industry analysts Skift to create a
name for such travelers—the Silent Traveler.
What sets the silent traveler apart is his or her ability to solve
problems using their tablets and smartphones while on their
holidays. They don’t contact local tour companies directly or
hunt down help from hotel staff, rather they solve their own
travel concerns using their own tech-savvy wits. Using their
smartphones or tablets they check local information, make
bookings and basically manage their holiday entirely digitally.
A survey released by Skift in July this year found that just
under 40 % of silent travelers were aged between 25 and 34.
