Yo, Big Thinkers! Hope you’ve had a fantastic weekend and are looking forward to an excellent week ahead. To help you get started, check out these 5 amazing mobile hotel marketing stories. Enjoy:

1. First up, Mobile Commerce Daily shares data from Hotels.com that shows 50% of mobile travelers book last-minute stays. What I’d love to see is where they book these stays. As we’ve noted before, mobile’s not a device, it’s a situation. I’m very curious exactly what situation Hotels.com supports here. You should be too.
2. Next, Skift reports on mobile first and the “silent traveler” in 2015. Great read.
3. Adding to this week’s list, Inc.com explores mobile technology and future of travel in detail. Cool stuff.
4. We’ve rounded up 5 awesome travel marketing articles, the top posts from April for you to enjoy.
5. And, finally, Tnooz explains what data from ad views says about the digital behavior of travelers. Very useful.
