In case you didn’t realise, the travel bug is real, and there’s a huge rise in the number of vacations people are taking. In fact, according to The GO Group 33% of the population are now planning more holidays than ever. Of course low-cost airlines have contributed to this, but arguably, social media has had a big impact too!
According to Adweek almost half of holiday-makers are likely to hear about a new travel company or destination on social media than anywhere else. Nearly 60% of people rely on user-generated content and social media posts to plan their travels*. And the guiltiest suspects? Millennial’s.
