Businesspeople who spend a large proportion of their time in property in Spain could find the accessories of their daily lifestyle help to make their journey run smoother.

Mark Caswell, editor of the UK online presence of Business Traveller magazine, says the past year has seen significant uptake of new technologies by tourism organisations.

For instance, ahead of Christmas, many airlines chose Twitter as their primary means of distributing updates on extreme weather, delays and cancellations.

Meanwhile, smartphone apps can help manage self-printed boarding passes and flight details for passengers of airlines including British Airways.

But it could be Twitter, with its rapid updates and widespread accessibility on computers and smartphones alike, that represents the greatest advance for business travellers heading to property in Spain or elsewhere in the world.

"For a business traveller who is travelling extremely frequently, they're able to make sure they're always up to date with the relevant information," says Mr Caswell.
