As 2020 continues to be a tumultuous year for us all, many of us are yearning for some well-deserved R&R. More and more people are forgoing the traditional travel planning in favor of planning their vacations with the help of digital methods, and TikTok is a great place to start.
Recently, I decided to take the plunge and use TikTok to plan my vacation. After scrolling through the app and finding some great travel videos, I was inspired to finally make a plan and book a trip.
My first step was to search for places I wanted to go. I quickly realized how easy it was to find recommendations for places I hadn’t thought of before. There are tons of videos highlighting lesser-known destinations, from small towns to big cities. The videos explain why it’s worth visiting, and include beautiful photos to make the destination even more appealing.
When I found the perfect spot, I used TikTok to start researching more about how to get there. With help from fellow TikTok users and hashtags, I found out about flight deals, transportation methods, and even budget-friendly lodging. People also shared insider tips like the best restaurants and attractions at my destination. Knowing that I was getting accurate, up-to-date information really put my mind at ease.
With this newfound knowledge, I finally reached the last step: booking. Thankfully, several travel bloggers on the app make life easier by sharing helpful deals and links in their videos. In just a couple of clicks, my flight was booked and I was ready to go.
Overall, I’m extremely grateful I used TikTok to plan my vacation. The app made it fun and simple to search and book a trip, and I saved a lot of money doing it! More importantly, I know that I’ll take that same approach for planning my next vacation. After all, why should we settle for dull planning methods when we have access to more creative, interactive, and economical methods?
