It's interesting me because since Tiktok appears in our habs, I chose restaurant depending what we said about it in social media. I already chose a restaurant beacause an influensor came here and said that was a wonderful place.

Reading this chapter I understand that my experience is just representing our generation. I it a good thing to be influenced easily like that ?

In it we learn about how social media became a hugh source of information about travels. Generation Z (our generation) relies heavily on social medias, such as TikTok or Instagram, to decide what they're gonna do or buy.

Influencers use it to show them positives and negatives aspects of tourism in each places we can visit.

The title is : "Fostering Sustainable Tourism: The Influence Of

Social Media On Young French Tourists"

I've understood that to better understand the role of social media in promoting sustainable tourism, they do an online survey. That'sincluded questions about travel habits, social media use,

and attitudes towards sustainable tourism.

I've noticed that 74% reported using social media to plan and share

their travel experiences. Additionnaly,

63% of respondents said that they were aware of sustainable tourism. That's a huge part of travellers.

it was first for young people who mades videos about their travel and experiences. Now even brands are making tiktoks to target a new market and complete the experience.

There are positive and negative feedback.

One of the positive is about the trends and their impact on one idea.

One of the negative may be about Nepal. They are avoiding creators who are disrespectful about the places that they are visiting and the overcrowding of some places.

I found it interesting because nowadays we are all using TikTok and perhaps don't know about this link with tourism.

But the social media have revolutionized the way of the communication, we use these media to travel and different information on the country

This chapter talk about how in our days the socials medias are influencing visitors to go in some countries.

Indeed, social modias are showing beautiful landscapes and cities wich make them very popular easily.

Also visitors like to go in specifics place because they are "instagrammable".

Travel Choices.

What I have learn from it? It's that today the social media are touch every sector and everyone and they have influence on a lot of factor. For example there are a lot of people who organize their vacation like famous people, they travel in the same country in the same restaurant or hotel.

The chapter highlights both the positive and negative impacts of

influencers and social media on the tourism industry, including cultural

appreciation, local economic benefits, and ecological awareness.

In this chapter we explain that the influencer have a lot of consequances on our travelling choices, actually for the Z's generation. The tree dimensions of this subject are "task attractions" "social attrraction" and "physical attraction".

After a study, as exemple, 35 person on 50 have decalre to have choosen the destination by the social media.

That's why it become a trend to collaborate with influencer when you are a brand to don't create a lack of authenticity.

The case study allows us to understand how a specific company, Bonbon Travel, is affected by the influence of lifestyle media. This allows to explore the specific strategies of this company and to draw lessons applicable to other players in the travel sector.

In summary, this topic is interesting because it offers an opportunity to explore the complex interactions between lifestyle media, Gen Z and travel decisions, while offering practical perspectives through Bonbon Travel’s case study.

The positive point about this chapter is that they show us a lot of example and it's good organized.

This study allowed me to learn more about the impact and the different consequences of this type of tourism.

I discovered how powerful the trend and # are and how many people you can attract with that.

I was really surprised by the fact that we spend around 2 hours a day scrolling through Tik Tok. Additionally, there are some negative points and some locals do not feel comfortable with a large volume of tourists.

I chose it because it speaks of our generation Z

Social media influences our destination.

Because influencers who show us their journey by showing us what is best for them and pushes us to go to the same places as them

They trust the influencer and go much less in work agencies because they spend more time on Instagram and TikTok but this influence in the choice of destinations has created mass tourism which is harmful in the end

and also offers tours that are inexpensive for the generation that watches it’s infleuncers

I learn due to the social media and the influencers traveling was no longer, for the generation Z, about discovering and living an unforgatable experience but about taking pictures of beautiful and famous places to share them on social media to say to their community/ followers "look I went there too".

Even if some positive aspect can come ot of this new way of traveling, some serious negativ es aspect that we cannot ignore are affected by this influence that turn upside down all the codes and habits of traveling.

«Instagram effect» where users on social media platforms post and share only content that shows a perfect, dreamy and aesthetically pleasing life. This can create a distorted view of reality, as people only see the facts of other people’s lives and not the backstage or struggles behind them. Our generation (Z) lives with the phone in hand and disconnects a lot from reality. Posts on social networks are very misleading because there is a lot of trick, fake, many images are created by robots.

Social networks hide becooup and you have to know how to distinvuer the real from the fake and make your own opinion and not take everything to the letter.

But there are also many positive points. The network makes us discover many things, different cultures, countries. Social networks are a very good economic means when you want to talk about something.

Generation Z – Seeking Communities Generation Z, in search of authenticity and truth, finds Discord appealing due to its community-centric approach without intrusive advertising. With the rise of social commerce, brands are increasingly using social media to establish connections. Discord, focused on the community, aligns with Generation Z's preference for authentic engagement.

Current Features of Discord and Tourism in Video Games Approximately 70% of Discord users engage for gaming.

Influencers also leverage Discord to establish a more personal connection with their communities.
