More Australians are booking holidays online, paying for them online…and doing it on a mobile device.<\/p>\n

According to figures from PayPal Australia<\/a>, not only are mobile platforms now more popular for booking holidays, but mobile payment is becoming THE way to pay, increasing 16 fold last year compared to 2011.<\/p>\n

What this comes down to is 1 out of every 5 people booking travel and paying with PayPal is doing so on a mobile device and it demonstrates that while smartphones are small, they are well equipped to handle spending on big ticket items.<\/p>\n

Incidentally previous PayPal research revealed that the most\u00a0popular\u00a0line for Australians to transact online is on Thursdays between 10 and 11pm.<\/p>\n

I”ll be chatting to PayPal later this week – stay tuned!<\/p>\n
