On almost any trip, you will find guests capturing images and videos of their vacation. With that being said, almost every active Instagram user will post at least one or two of these images to their profiles. These images create a sense of envy and inspiration to others who then wish to visit the same spot.
Traveling around the world and visiting new places has always been part of our culture, however, Instagram has made it so that millions of people can now connect with these images and crave the same experience.

Speeds up the booking process:
Prior to social media and the internet, we had to rely on photos from our friends and family who had traveled or travel magazines. Today, all it takes is a simple click of a button and we are exposed to millions of incredible images and videos of places that we aspire to explore.
This has also expedited the time it would take to plan out a vacation. It used to take weeks and months to discover the top locations to visit, but now you can plan your whole itinerary in a few minutes using Instagram’s hashtags and geotags. They allow you to find places, villas, restaurants, and activities so efficiently that you really no longer need to do a ton of research. The comments and feedback is enough for many individuals.
