How Are Tourist Hashtags Different from Other Travel Hashtags?

While many popular travel hashtags have a tendency to veer into a style that is similar to motivational quotes, classic hashtags for tourism are usually dramatically different and far more focused on particular places in the world.

The travel blogging space has become quite diverse over the years.

Travel is no longer limited to the safe confines of going on a trip to an exciting city or visiting the coastline of a nearby country.

Whether you want to spend time a the beach of a remote island in Thailand or spend weeks trekking through the Andes mountains, there’s something for everyone.

However, there is something distinctly different about the classic form of travel where you discover the urban jungles of foreign countries.

Tourism, in the strictest sense of the word, is very different from other forms of travel.

As a classic tourist, your focus is on sightseeing, architecture, discovering restaurants and bars, and also spending quite a bit of money.

The most popular tourist hashtags are distinctly different from any other category.

You’ll notice that it is a lot more common to reference cities, countries, places, languages, and even food in tourist hashtags.

And despite the incredible diversity in choice, the actual tourist hashtags that are used by most people ironically mostly concentrate on the same set over and over again.

There’s a ton of opportunity for travel bloggers in diversifying their use of hashtags for tourism.

Key Points (tl;dr)
  • If you’re a travel blogger then you’ve probably gotten quite accustomed to simply using many of the most popular hashtags as well as those that you think are cool over and over again.
  • In most cases, unless you have a huge following, you’re wasting valuable space for hashtags that are actually relevant and will generate a lot more exposure than the ones you’re using right now.
  • Your primary objective on social media is to get the attention of the audience and the best way to do that is to avoid exposing yourself to unnecessary competition. However, when you use some of the most popular hashtags, that’s exactly what you are doing.
  • In order to increase the impact that your posts have, you should focus your efforts on highly contextual hashtags as well as those that have decent search volume with little competition. This will drive engagement, which in turn increases your following and will help you rank for more competitive hashtags as well.

Which Tourist Hashtags Are Most Effective?

The most effective hashtags for tourism fall into two categories. The first category includes hashtags that focus on describing the actual content and thereby increase its relevance to those searching for these specific keywords. The second category encompasses all hashtags that have an impactful ratio between search volume and competition.

There are 2 categories of hashtags for tourism that work particularly well but none of them include the most popular hashtags.

You see when you’re just starting out with travel blogging and you don’t have a large following, using extremely popular hashtags won’t get you anywhere.

Imagine thousands of people using the very same hashtags every single day.

How much screen time do you think your post will get if it doesn’t go viral (and it probably won’t)?

Not much, that’s for sure.

The top of the search results for any given hashtag is usually split into 2-3 categories.

One category covers the top posts (with most of the engagement), another one shows the most recent ones, and in the case of Instagram, there’s a dedicated tab for Reels.

You can pretty much forget landing in the top posts.

Getting some exposure in the “Recent” tab is possible, but not if there are thousands of posts a day.

So what should you do?

Well, instead of constantly going for the most popular tourist hashtags, you’re much better off focusing on those with less competition.

And as I mentioned earlier, there are 2 types of hashtags for tourism that have less competition.

The first category includes all sorts of descriptive hashtags that are not commonly used by travel bloggers but are highly relevant to the content of your post.

Engagement is driven by how contextual your content is to the audience.

The second category includes all tourist hashtags that have a good amount of monthly searches but aren’t being used by many people.

This ratio between market potential and competition is what we like to call the “Impact Score” of a hashtag.

Focus on the hashtags that have healthy search volume and a high impact score and watch your engagement go through the roof.
