People Go To the Same Places. Right or Wrong?
09 Jun | Author: admin | Category: How-to“…take a look at the findings of a recent study published in Nature which analyzed the movement of 100K people. One key startling discovery was that “despite the diversity of their travel history, humans follow simple reproducible patterns” which in plainspeak means that people tend to visit the same places again and again…” says Sachendra.
It seems true, and it would be great to see the routes people take via ArrivedOK!

It’s really interesting research! We are just social animals, after all, so predictable. Marketers in the Traveling and Hospitality Industry should take it into account.
Somewhere in the Internet I’ve read that all people can be just of 2 types: those who like to travel to Europe (the West) and those who love Asia (go to the East).
Does anybody know other interesting typifications?
Another exiting thing about the article is to see mobile phones as a scientific tool in action. Human movements were tracked using mobile phones (the study of whereabouts of mobile phone users).
Looking forward to hear about improvements of ArrivedOK.
