With over 800 million active users, Instagram has grown to become one of the most important social media platforms for millennials and boasts the highest engagement rate per follower. In addition, a survey has suggested that as many as 48% of Instagram users use it to help pick their next holiday destination.
Within this practical session, we will show you how to supercharge your Instagram account, grow your visibility and become better at inspiring potential visitors and engaging with followers. Through live demos, we will also show you how to find inspiration and source content (especially from guests/ visitors) and give you a few practical tips and hacks to make the most of Instagram. You will also learn how and why it pays to interact and collaborate with fellow tourism businesses and destinations.
