New technologies have changed everything: our daily lives and the economy itself. The tourism sector, like others, has found itself at the heart of these innovations. For a tourist country, attracting tour operators and tourists is no longer enough: it is now necessary to attract influencers. They are the new undisputed players in the sector.
What are the platforms used by travel influencers?
Most of the activity of travel influencers takes place on social networks. In this vast universe, there are several platforms. For your information, many of these tools are designed for professionals who want to find influential ambassadors for their brands. These platforms are accessible via a free (test) or paid (full) version.
5 platforms used by travel influencers :
- Instagram : With more than 22 million users per month, it is an undeniable playground for content creators. As you know, Instagram is entirely dedicated to sharing photos and videos, which represents an opportunity for social network players. A traveler, for his part, will have a better overview of the destination he is looking for (restaurants, hotels, sites to visit…).
- Tik tok : Tik Tok has over 1 billion unique users per month. The social network is very appealing because of its concept based on short videos. This is a goldmine for influencers. They will be able to view the videos posted by influencers to get an idea of a particular destination.
