Theories also say that influencers change attitudes, norms and self image of followers. In general, influencers have a strong impact on Gen Z travel decisions.

The Instagram effect glamorizes tourism, drawing travelers to viral spots for photos while risking overcrowding and false expectations. Yet it also promotes destinations and cultures. I hope this changes toward balance, encouraging authentic, responsible travel while keeping its positive reach.

In conclusion, Instagram has both positive and negative aspects, and it is important to know how to filter the right information.

I have learn many things :

The fisrt was talking about the preference of the local tourism and to ho out of the usually way of the toursim like the capitals or the big towns and to go where everyone go.

In fact, the chapter explain that the peaople today prefer to talk with the locals and to discover some "secret and hiddens" places in the world without a lot of tourists.

The second part was about the role of the social media who have some good points and bad points : the biggest good point is about the fact that we can share our unique experience and to promote the place.

However, it's also the biggest bad points because if we don't regulate the number of the tourist, the place can't be authentic and they will lose their authenticity and it's gonna to become a touristic place.

In fact we just have to be carreful about what we share on the sociale media !!!!!!!!!!!!

In conclusion discover more natur site and place to be out of the main touristic way is call "slow tourism" and thats reaaly interesting because we promote the importance of tne nature and biodiversity. But we have to be conscience of what we share on sociale medie to not destroy the sites.

In conclusion, the text shows that for French Generation Z, social media is central to the entire travel experience, from planning to sharing, and that influencers and sustainable options strongly affect their travel decisions.

It was very interesting to learn more about the derive of instagram. It's can be a good tools for find news destinations , restaurants but sometimes in not totaly the reality. We just need to know and keep a critical mind about what we see on instagram.

I learned that this generation nowadays are heavily influenced by social media platforms which drives their entire journey. They typically use platforms like instagram, tiktok, pinterest, etc to plan and research their future trips. The chapter also highlights that these visually appealing contents like reels, photos, videos are a powerful motivator. Additionally, they are influenced by what they see and in turn, become content creators themselves.

For me the social media it’s a good idea for to give a idea about a destination in the different countries but the Instagram influence the generation . Instagram can be misleading and sometimes it’s not reality .

This chapter explores how social media influencers shape the travel choices of French Generation Z. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok inspire young travelers, offer guidance, and connect them with new experiences while promoting lifestyles and responsible tourism. However, influencers can also create overtourism, distort reality, and generate social pressure. Despite these challenges, they remain key figures in guiding travel trends and decisions for this generation.

This also allows them to quickly communicate with influencers if they have any further questions.

Unfortunately, the popularity of social media for finding dream holidays is increasingly impacting the most sought-after destinations. This leads to problems such as overtourism and images that may be doctored.

today gen Z check their vacations on social media to decide where they want to go. They want to escape themself. 57% of them use this technique to find activities or destinations.

Its the new habits because they grow up with technology

I wanted to understand the research behind something I do every day. I realized I never really go to a restaurant without checking it out on social media first - I look at the photos, read the comments, and see if it looks 'Instagrammable.'

This chapter perfectly describes my own behavior, so I was curious to see what the data says about people like me and how we're actually changing the restaurant industry just by being on our phones.
