Instagram connects us with previously unconsidered destinations and gives them a social seal of approval, with user-generated content a particularly powerful driver of bookings. Eighty per cent of travellers agree that viewing UGC increases confidence in making travel decisions.
The parallels between Instagram and travel are many: both are about escapism and excitement, seeing a version of the world at its best and stepping outside the realm of our immediate lives. Steadily, the two have become symbiotic. #travel appears in almost 600 million posts and 48% of people choose their holiday destination based on Insta-inspiration.
Instagram is the new travel agent. And as an image-based platform, it uses visual appeal to transcend language barriers and shape the way billions of people find, perceive and experience tourist destinations.
