What places influencers choose to visit in UK
With all new technologies the world has become more open. Everybody can express their thoughts, experience and recommendations to each other within a few minutes. The distance between celebrities and their fans has also become minimal. You even have an opportunity to write a message to your country’s leader if you want to get an answer! Of course, maybe not from them directly, maybe their communications manager will answer you, but there is a real big chance to be heard.
So here is born a new voice in this interactive generation – influencers. When we watch old fashioned movies about youth we see the most popular person in school become King or Queen of Prom night. Today everything has moved to the Internet. Many pupils through social media have armies of followers to influence. Their parents who don’t want to fall behind also obey to this fashion of catching all new trends in Social Media. And of course, one of the main reasons to be here is to check what their children do.
The growth of numbers who use Social Media has created a powerful space for advertisement. Many people have found opportunity to make their hobbies into jobs. Travel enthusiasts included. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that all the places from their pictures in Social Media truly exist! They share recommendations of what places to visit worldwide. And invite companies which are selling products or services to gain exposure in new territories.
