How TikTok transforms travelling and tourism in the digital age

September, 28, 2022 -->

The global tourism industry is set to bounce back strongly after the post-pandemic speed bump. On World Tourism Day, actors and stakeholders in the industry are taking the next big step in rejuvenating travel, in line with this year's theme, "Rethinking Tourism".

More importantly, tourism is slated to play a crucial role in the resurrection of Sri Lanka’s distressed economic condition, by attracting foreign exchange earnings and complementing the growth rate in the years to come. With the country looking for a way out of the mess it finds itself in on the economic front, the tourism sector will be expected to revive its fortunes, which in the past had been a source of much glory for the Sri Lankan economy.

The digital revolution has altered how travellers book trips and decide where to go. Travellers can now research potential destinations, find travel advisors, and even use social media platforms as their main form of communication in place of email. In Sri Lanka too, as travellers become more tech-savvy, they are increasingly beginning to rely on digital platforms like TikTok to plan and influence their travel itineraries.

As a matter of fact, TikTok has grown immensely popular for showcasing authentic moments of immersive travel, including interacting with nature in various ways, sampling street food across cultures, or showcasing distinct local experiences. With over 1.2 billion users across the world, TikTok possesses the power to attract the global travel fraternity with its short video format.

And so, in the ever-evolving digital Sri Lankan landscape, short video platforms like TikTok are pioneering the next big revolution in the tourism sector.

  How youngsters travel

Planning a trip has always been an exciting prospect for those who love to travel. But in particular, today's generation has grown fond of genuine and real travel experiences, which is why they adore looking to their community for reliable travel inspirations.

Not only that, but modern travellers are equally eager to share their gripping tales and real-life images of their travels on social media sites like TikTok, completing a creative cycle that in turn motivates countless others.

According to a study by Amp Agency, 84% of millennials and 73% of non-millennials are very likely to base their travel plans on vacation pictures, videos, or status updates of others.

TikTok emerges as the platform where the community is ready to express themselves and tell their stories through genuine, visual, and geo-tagged content that is simultaneously alluring and liberating in today's digital Sri Lanka. This is made possible by simple editing tools, native platform content, and creators who supply dynamic content.

The allure of a travel experience on TikTok is that personal, approachable, and motivating window through which tourists take a journey before deciding whether it's worthwhile--the journey before the journey.

The ease of using TikTok as a creative platform, where users can publish original posts with a wide variety of sound, effects, and other creative tools, further enhances this interplay of imagination and reality. Features like using popular music, hashtags, and filters let content creators reach a large audience.

The future of tourism in Sri Lanka

Famous for our culture, cuisine, and unforgettable natural beauty, Sri Lanka is surrounded by rivers, coasts, beaches, historical and religious sites, hills, forests, waterfalls, and botanical gardens. Sri Lanka is also home to many World Heritage sites such as the sacred cities of Anuradhapura and Kandy, ancient cities of Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya, the Sinharaja Forest Reserve and plenty more localities which are visited by numerous travellers every year.

Authentic content creators on TikTok are now taking to the platform to showcase their immersive experiences of these places--increasing their appeal to not only domestic travellers but also inbound tourists. Creators on TikTok are also exploring hidden gems, off the beaten path, and encouraging and influencing travellers to explore new territories. There are numerous instances of TikTok's success in generating interest in previously undiscovered locations, which resulted in a generous increase in tourist foot traffic.

These real-life stories have revived the desire for travel and fundamentally changed how destinations are marketed internationally. Travel and tourism marketers are increasingly taking advantage of the opportunity provided by this new generation of digital platforms.

Additionally, the platform provides a fantastic opportunity for travel destinations and hospitality brands to promote themselves in an authentic way. With 34 billion views, the hashtag #TikTokTravel  is one of the most popular ones on the app. Using this hashtag for tourism and travel businesses is a great way to market locations or activities.

As the rate of travel and tourism picks up, TikTok offers brands an unbeatable chance to be at the top of travellers' wish lists and plans, to ignite more in-depth and meaningful travel conversations.

The most effective way to connect with the next generation of travel buyers is through platforms like TikTok. The ability of TikTok to influence and inspire Sri Lanka’s travel trends is thus an opportunity that could become a model for genuine and inclusive tourism in the years to come.

Here are our tips for optimizing your travel photography hashtags strategy. That way, you too can get the most exposure for your travel Instagram posts, and grow your Instagram following.

Post When Your Users Are Most Active

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one’s online to see your Instagram post of it, did it even happen?

Giggles aside, you get the point.

It doesn’t matter if you have the most slammin’ travel shot there ever was and used the top hashtags for travel photography known to humankind, if you’re not also making sure your people are online to see it.

Your goal is to post your content, with your best travel photography hashtags, at the times when users are most active. This is when users are most likely to engage with your posts.

The more users that engage with your post early on, the more people the Instagram algorithm will show your post to.

How do you know when to post?

If you have a creator or business account (and if you plan on being serious about your Instagram travel photography, you should) your Instagram account analytics will help you out. Learn how to set up a creator or business account.

How to view Instagram insights to optimize your travel photography Instagram posts

  • Head to your profile on the mobile app
  • Tap the Insights button
  • Tap “Total Followers”
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and find “Most Active Times”

If you converted your profile to a creator or business account recently, these analytics will only show insights for content posted after you converted.

Most active times for posting your travel photography to Instagram

In case you’re not able to access your Instagram analytics, a general rule  is that users are most active on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from the hours of 10 am to 2 pm.

You can use up to 30 hashtags on each post.

We use all 30 travel photography hashtags on every post, except Reels posts.

For Reels, we recommend 15 or less hashtags to better directly target your traffic. However, you may use up to 30 hashtags on Reels as well.

We will group our travel photography hashtags below to make it easier for you to select the number of hashtags you want.

Instagram doesn’t like seeing repetitive behavior. When it sees too much repetitive behavior, the Instagram algorithm might construe you for a bot. Therefore too much use of the same, identical hashtags on every, single post for a prolonged period of time may lead to a shadowban. You do  not want that.

To avoid this, be sure to vary your traveling photography hashtags on each post.

A good general practice is to select 15 or so of the best hashtags for travel photography on a post. Then add your own additional hashtags specific to the post.

We’ve divided our travel photography hashtags below into groups of 15, allowing you to easily mix and match, and add your own hashtags as you need.

Additional travel photography hashtags you could use are:

place-specific hashtags

  • referring to the city, state, or country
  • e.g. #californiadreaming

content-specific hashtags

  • referring to the actions, place or subjects
  • e.g. #hikingaddict , # beachvibes , # beardedhiker

When used properly, Instagram can function as a market research travel photography app to show you what works, and what doesn’t.

A periodic auditing of your posts can give you tons of information to help you grow your Instagram account. You can perform an audit by using the Instagram Insights feature we discussed earlier.

Every once in a while (we do it once a month), go through your posts and make note of:

  • the engagement ( number of comments and likes )
  • and reach ( how many users saw the post )

View insights for Instagram post to optimize your travel Instagram

To see these analytics, simply go to the post you want to study, and tap “View insights” on the bottom left corner of the post.

If you notice some posts have a greater reach than others, make note of the travel photography hashtags you used.

If you continue to see the same hashtags correlating with your posts with the highest reach, those are the best travel photography hashtags that work for you to grow your Instagram following.

For Instagram optimization, it doesn’t really matter where the hashtags go.

However, we do recommend placing your travel photography hashtags in the comments for regular photo & video posts, as it keeps them neater.

Be sure to add 5 periods, each on their own line, to ensure the hashtags are hidden behind a “read more” tag, and don’t clutter up your comment section.

#hashtagsareslammin

For Reels posts, we recommend adding your hashtags directly in the caption.

Maximize Conversions: First Impressions Matter

Last but not least, to truly optimize your travelling photography hashtags game, you should be mindful of your Instagram profile and feed.

The whole reason to optimize your posts and find the top hashtags for travel photography is to lead people to your posts to like and comment, and hopefully to your profile to follow you.

In order to maximize these conversions and gain more followers, you shouldn’t neglect your:

  • Instagram profile bio

These are the most important factors for making a first impression on potential followers.

Your Top 9 is your collection of 9 most recent posts, and one of the first things potential followers see. It is often the deciding factor on whether or not someone chooses to follow you.

Be mindful to always have your Top 9 be as enticing as can be, and representative of the kind of travel photography users can expect from you.

Here is our current Top 9, as an example.

Optimize your top 9 along with your strategy for the best travel photography hashtags

Users care about one of two things (sometimes both): story and style.

Aim to fulfill at least one of these.

Focusing on style means focusing on image quality. If you focus on style, choose your best images, use a decent camera, or even a drone. Refer to our guides for the best budget travel cameras and how to travel with a drone .

Make sure your feed is cohesive and beautiful.

Otherwise, you might choose to focus on story.

Use your image and caption to tell a compelling thought, share a memory, convey your personality in a way that makes people want to be friends with you. Be relatable and authentic. Just be yo damn self, ok?

The best posts will be mindful of both story and style.

Your Instagram profile bio is also important for converting potential followers into followers.

Make your bio descriptive and informative. A potential follower should be able to get a clear sense of who you are and what they can expect from you just by looking at your bio.

Here’s our current bio, as an example.

Don't forget to optimize your Instagram profile bio when selecting the best Instagram hashtags for travel photography

Our slogan, “Your life, Your terms,” is first, as almost all of our content is about living life in a way that serves you and your needs.

Next is a little tagline about ourselves: “Living a whimsical life ’round the globe.” This conveys that our content is about both travel and  lifestyle .

We have our location, as a lot of our recent content will be coming out of LA and Joshua Tree.

We have our contact info, and finally, a link to our travel blog with a recent post of ours.

A potential follower can get a clear sense of our vibe and our content, and make their decision whether or not to follow us based on that impression.

Party may be over for Russians in Sri Lanka after ‘whites only’ event fuels outrage

The party may be over for thousands of Russian tourists who moved to Sri Lanka amid the war in Ukraine .

Authorities in the South Asian island country said this week they were canceling long-term tourist visa extensions — a move that coincides with outrage over what appeared to be a “whites only” event organized by a Russian-run nightclub in a popular resort town.

But the debt-stricken island’s president raised doubts over whether his government would go through with the cancellations, which would threaten a much-needed source of tourist income.

Russian and Ukrainian tourists must leave Sri Lanka by March 7 after their final free visa extensions expire, according to a notice issued by the Tourism Development Authority. The Immigration Department had said last month that the visas were being extended because of the “non-operation of airlines in the region.”

However, President Ranil Wickremesinghe ordered an investigation into the notice, saying the visas could not be canceled without Cabinet approval.

“The Govt hasn’t officially decided to revoke visa extensions previously granted to these tourists,” his office said Sunday on X .

Facing sweeping travel restrictions after the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago , many Russians flocked to Sri Lanka when it offered near-indefinite stays. Russia became Sri Lanka’s largest source of tourists after nearby India last year.

Nearly 200,000 Russians and 5,000 Ukrainians visited the country of 22 million last year, official Sri Lankan tourism department data showed.

It’s unclear how many remained in the country beyond the usual duration of a tourist visa, which is 30 days. But thousands are believed to have remained — including those seeking to avoid being drafted into the military — and some have set up restaurants and nightclubs.

It’s also unclear whether the end of the visa extensions was related to the recent outcry, but one of those nightclubs was at the center of the outrage over a planned party.

A poster advertising a “White Party” last weekend at the Sarayka Lounge in Unawatuna, a coastal town about 3 miles from the southern tourist hub of Galle, specified a white dress code, as is typical for such events.

But the poster, which was shared widely on social media and seen by NBC News, also included a line that said “Face Control: White,” drawing outrage from social media users who interpreted it to mean that only white people could attend the event.

Three Russian DJs were expected to play at the event, according to the poster.

The bar said Friday on Instagram that it had canceled the event and “will never support various racist statements or organizations.”

President of Sri Lanka Ranil Wickremesinghe

A user who claimed to be one of the party’s organizers apologized on Instagram , saying, “There was no malice or racism in this.”

“We were sitting in a cafe and discussing that people living far from their homeland have a lot in common and it would be great to gather everyone in one place,” said the user, @geo_ecstatic.

“We wanted to meet expats who have been living here for a long time and love Sri Lanka,” the user said, adding that he and his family had to leave the island because of abuse and threats arising from “this stupid idea of making a white party.”

In a statement about the “controversial night event,” the Russian Embassy in Colombo said that “according to unconfirmed data, the main promoter as well as the owners of a bar who agreed to accommodate the party are Russian citizens.”

Russia “strongly condemns all forms of racial discrimination,” it added, calling on its citizens to follow local laws and customs.

Sri Lanka has been struggling with an economic crisis since it declared bankruptcy two years ago with more than $83 billion in debt. More than half of that debt is owed to foreign creditors, with the worsening living conditions in the country leading to widespread protests and the ousting of then-President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in 2022.

Since then, the new administration has been pulling out all the stops to raise more cash, including a bailout by the International Monetary Fund and an increase in taxes and prices for electricity and fuel. 

The increased cost of living has pushed some Sri Lankans to the streets again, with police resorting to tear gas to quell a protest in Colombo, the capital, last month.

Sri Lanka has also tapped into tourism, providing 30-day visas with multiple extensions of up to six months, with Russians and Ukrainians receiving even more because of the war in Ukraine.

Sri Lanka issues travel documents for Rajiv Gandhi assassination convict Santhan to return home, TN govt tells Madras HC

C HENNAI: Tamil Nadu government informed the Madras High Court on Tuesday that the Sri Lankan government has issued travel documents for one of the convicts in the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi assassination, Santhan alias T Suthenthiraraja, who was released along with others in 2022 following a Supreme Court order.

Additional Public Prosecutor R Muniapparaj made the submission before a division bench of Justices R Suresh Kumar and K Kumaresh Babu during a petition filed by Santhan seeking orders to facilitate his return to his native country. He is currently detained at the high-security detention camp for foreigners in Tiruchy.

“The Sri Lanka deputy high commission has sent the travel documents to the Tamil Nadu government to pave the way for Santhan to return,” Muniapparaj told the court. He added that the state government has forwarded these travel documents to the Centre for issuing necessary orders to allow him to get back to his country.

Additional Solicitor General (ASG) AR L Sundaresan, representing the Ministry of External Affairs, stated that no documents were received so far by the department and informed that he would forward the documents received through the court to the concerned authorities. Necessary orders may be passed in a week’s time, he promised.

Directing the Centre to file a report on the matter, the bench adjourned the case to Feb. 29 for further hearing.

The Supreme Court, on Nov 11, 2022, ordered the release of all six convicts - Nalini, her husband Murugan alias Sriharan, Ravichandran, Santhan, Jayakumar, and Robert Payas - from the prisons where they had been incarcerated for more than three decades.

Of them, Murugan, Santhan, Robert Payas, and Jayakumar were detained at the high-security foreigners detention camp in Tiruchy. Santhan filed the petition in the court seeking orders to allow him to return to Sri Lanka to take care of his ailing mother.
