Instagram Still a Key Driver in Travel Trends
According to Big 7 Media, 67 percent of people it surveyed said they have visited a new destination after seeing it on their Instagram feed, while 61 percent have booked a specific hotel after seeing it on the popular photo and video-sharing social networking site.
"While printed guidebooks still have their uses, more and more tourists are using only Instagram for travel recommendations – 33 percent of people surveyed say they research their upcoming holiday destination via their Instagram feed," Big 7 Media said in a statement last week.
"With 77 percent of people surveyed taking two to five holidays a year [including weekend breaks], the most popular travel content on social media are bucket list experiences and luxury hotels," it said.
Indonesia
It is no surprise, considering that Indonesia is comprised of thousands of volcanic islands, including Bali. You will find everything, from breathtaking ocean views, mountain tops and jungles, to komodo dragons, orangutans and tigers, in the archipelago.
Basically, it is a paradise.
