Today with David McCullagh · TikTok Tourism: How social media is changing travel—for better and worse · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

Or we're doing this.

How would you recommend doing Universal in Orlando?

And you have like real people giving like actual feedback.

And sometimes it's positive.

And it's also good to see the negative sometimes.

That's where the issue lies.

I feel with...

TikTok tourism or like social media tourism in general, sometimes you're not getting the negative.

Sometimes you're just being presented with the place and you're not necessarily getting the full picture, which is where, again, I would still consult with like print journalists and travel guides and more.

So I wouldn't necessarily totally rely on social media journalism because I don't think it speaks to the whole picture of a place, shall we say.

I think so.

I think you'd even see it in places like I did the Amalfi a couple of years ago.

So like then the Amalfi Coast in Italy would have been like, again, very trendy at the time.

And I was probably trend led to go there.

Now, do I regret it?

No, it was absolutely stunning.

But you could see the people setting up to take the photos and they're kind of on the phone so much that they're not taking in the surroundings of where we actually are.

And look, it's something that I've kind of fallen victim to as well.

And it's something that I try to be

more conscious of when I'm traveling now because you know for a lot of these places like with Japan will we go back again we'd love to but it's very expensive to get there so how likely that is I'm not sure so I really wanted to make sure that when we were there I was you know really really taking it all in and actually trying to formulate memories as opposed to like building up storage on my phone you know what I mean exactly and you're kind of trying to get in to get the photograph people are pushing and shoving and jousting to get that picture
