Approximately one-fifth of leisure travelers worldwide turn to social media platforms for inspiration within different categories of their travel planning. Whether looking for hotels, activities, attractions or restaurants, social media can help improve your next vacation. Specifically, Instagram is a social channel that not only gives users an insight of places to see and explore, but also helps companies promote their brands. Travel businesses use the platform to visualize what the ultimate destination is. Travel photographers also capture images of people, culture, landscapes, and animals around the world. If you’re looking for travel inspiration, like I did when traveling abroad, here are the top accounts to follow on Instagram:
@travelandleisure provides all of the visual inspiration you need to kick your wanderlust into high gear. The company depicts photographs from top destinations, breathtaking views from across the globe, and features users’ personal photos on its account profile. Having difficulty deciding where to stay?

Final Destination 
As my Instagram feed is often dominated by the monotony of my friend’s personal lives, it is nice to see someone try to add a bit more color to what I see when I enter the app. I looked at these profiles and I was stunned by how beautiful they were and how they really did add a bit more style to the often same color palettes I’m used to seeing. The only problem with this post that I see is the giant white space at the end of the post.

This post is actually very relevant to my daily life. I follow some of these travel blogs but they don’t seem to capture what I want to see. The two account thats I especially liked were Be My Travel Muse and Chris Burkard’s account. There are so many of these of travel Instagram accounts that it can be difficult to narrow down which I want to follow. I liked this post a lot!
