We can also learn where we prefer to travel from mobile phone traffic data.

The National Media and Communications Authority (NMHH) has analyzed several years before and after the Covid-19 outbreak in order to find out from mobile phone roaming where Hungarian mobile phone users, or at least their owners, like to go on vacation the most, says the NMHH announcement.

Roaming traffic is highest in the summer, when cell phones go abroad the most, and local voice and data traffic drops somewhat during this period.

During the investigation, they kept in mind that the phones could pass through many countries while traveling, so they could connect to the networks of several foreign service providers. This also contributes to the fact that the top three places in the analysis are neighboring countries, according to the NMHH report.

Depending on roaming, the most popular destination is Austria, where 8.5 percent of SIM cards use the Internet or make phone calls in the summer. Croatia is second, with 6.2% of summer SIMs handling traffic on the Croatian mobile network, and Slovakia is third with 5.2%.

Croatia’s summer surplus is of course the highest of the three countries.

In terms of other destinations, Greece overtakes Croatia during the season, but Bulgaria, Cyprus, Slovenia, and Italy are also popular. We can clearly see from our mobile phone usage habits that Hungarians prefer to go to the south coast in summer.
