Description
Summary:Tourism plays an essential role in the world economy. Drastic progress in this field has reshaped an integral part of tourism information and technological communication supports. Mobile devices have consumed significant aspects of people's daily life. Understanding tourist behaviour is considered an essential element to the success of development in tourism. An international tourist no longer relies solely on a tourism agency to determine their travel plans. This paper concentrates on specific behaviours of international tourists related to their interaction with mobile devices. Methods used in this research are questionnaires and literature study. The questionnaire was conducted in 2019 before the pandemic. This research result is which media are being used in determining travel plans, mainly how long mobile devices are being used, the social media chosen, and the types of activities involved in using these devices. This research can be a significant base on embarking on a potent strategy in the tourism industry.
