"How do you choose your next travel destination? Social media platforms like
Instagram and TikTok are handy tools for holiday research, full of #inspo for
new and beautiful places to go.
However, behind those mesmerising selfies, highlights and reels, there’s often
a stark reality that isn’t shared. Our ongoing research shows that dangers
abound from social media related misadventures. These include the hidden
dangers of getting to the location, as well as the ecological strains on sites
that get overcrowded with tourists.
Australia, with its breathtaking natural wonders, is no stranger to the
downsides of social media tourism. Many people have been injured, needed rescue
or even perished when visiting trendy places."
