Travelocity’s most recent poll shows more than half of all travelers share vacation information through social media. Nearly 30 percent of travelers have either never thought about precautions or do not take any precautions when posting about vacation on social media websites.

With summer vacations in full swing, many travelers are looking forward to sharing the details of their trips with friends and family. In today’s world, the easiest way to share is through social media, but people should be conscious of when and what they share to avoid giving away too much information about when they’ll be away from home.

Nearly 30 percent of travelers have either never thought about precautions or do not take any precautions when posting about vacation on social media web sites. Twenty-seven percent post limited vacation information; the rest do not allow any vacation posts.
