Which holiday emoji would you use?
Travel website Booking.com has discovered in a study that holidaymakers often want to share their vacation experiences with others via messaging on mobile devices.
In response to this, and to celebrate the World Emoji Day on Monday (July 17), Booking.com has asked 18,000 travellers which new emojis they’d like to see. The top choices include images of people looking at a map, dressed in typical tourist gear, and taking a selfie.
Booking.com has brought these characters to life through illustrations and created a light-hearted petition for Unicode to include them as part of its current list.
If you want more emojis to use for your next holiday, sign the petition at Booking.com.
The study commissioned by Booking.com and independently conducted in April and May by Research Now covered 18,496 respondents.
More than a thousand each were surveyed in the UK, US, Brazil, China, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, India and Russia, and 500-plus each in Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Hong Kong, Croatia, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Thailand and Taiwan.
