TikTok has become the main "travel advisor" for young people
TikTok is filled with lifestyle recommendations covering everything from skincare to fashion. When it comes to traveling, its popularity in this area is also quite significant. For young people, TikTok has become the best guide and travel advisor.
A new study can confirm this. Tripit conducted a survey of 1000 Americans, finding that the vast majority of young travelers look to TikTok and Instagram for travel information: 69 percent of young respondents and millennials said they find travel inspiration on social media. Of those, 44 percent said they use TikTok specifically for this purpose, Mashable.com reports.
The survey also found that Americans are now twice as likely to plan their travels to pop culture destinations, with 40 percent of respondents saying they are likely to do so in the next year.
As it turned out, in fact, 2 out of 5 members of Generation Z (young people) made pop culture-related trips last year.
As TravelWise reported earlier, tourism experts warn tourists about the dangers of fraud on TikTok.
