Gen Z and younger millennials are keen TikTok users, with many passionate travellers dedicating their time to creating content sharing their top travel tips, advice, and some serious travel inspiration.
Whether you want to see some of the natural wonders of the world, soak in some scenic views or explore some of the world’s most beautifully designed cities, you could find your next must-visit destination on TikTok.
And after several years of severely restricted travel, it is perhaps no surprise that social media platforms like TikTok are fuelling travelers’ desires to get out there and explore the world.
Plus, with Gen Z leading the way on this particular social platform, travel content is only set to increase. Why? Well, this is the generation that is spending more of their money on dining and travel than they were in pre-pandemic times despite having less money in savings than older generations. With a clear desire to invest in experiences rather than possessions, the travel hashtags on this fast-moving platform are bursting with inspiration, information, and some seriously beautiful views.
