Only 16 percent of American smartphone users search daily information about local businesses and services and then visit those businesses or use those Services.

Are travelers the biggest users of location-based services in the U.S.? That’s what data from the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development suggests; only 16 percent of American smartphone users search daily information about local businesses and services and then visit those businesses or use those Services.
