The size of each circle is relative to total volume of posts from travelers to each tourist destination. Destinations included are the twenty most visited cities in 2016. Color scale indicates likes per post; green circles indicate cities where travel posts receive the most likes, while red circles indicate cities where travel posts receive the fewest likes, on average.
In our most recent report, we delved into millions of Instagram posts tagged with travel hashtags over the past year. Our analysis uncovered the most Instagrammed cities and countries across the world, as well as important insights about the people who travel to each destination. Here's a quick preview of what we found.
In 2016, Bangkok claimed the most total tourist visits of any city in the world, narrowly surpassing tourist visits to London and Paris. However, looking at travel patterns through an Instagram lens tells us a very different story, revealing surprising insights about where people are most likely to Instagram their vacations and how Instagram engagement varies based on where you travel.
Despite Bangkok attracting the most tourists, #Travel photos taken within the boundaries of Paris and London outnumbered #Travel photos taken in Bangkok each by about 2.5x. As we delved deeper into Instagram travel data, we noticed other discrepancies in posting behavior; for example, travel photos posted from vacations in Europe received more likes than photos from Asian vacations. The 150 thousand Instagram photos from vacations in Osaka, Japan received both the fewest likes and the fewest comments per post compared to vacation photos from any of the other top travel destinations. The two Middle Eastern cities that were among the top twenty visited in 2016—Istanbul and Dubai—received the most likes per post, followed by the only North American destination - New York City.
Travel photos posted from vacations in Europe received more likes than photos from Asian vacations.
