9 Of The Most Insta-Worthy 2019 Travel Destinations

Hands up if you’ve ever visited a travel destination just because you saw it on Instagram. Yep, most of us all guilty of it! In fact, according to Expedia’s 2018 social media and travel report, #LikeToTravel,  a quarter of Aussies have visited a place based off a post they saw on their social media and a further quarter haven’t yet visited a destination they’ve seen on Instagram, but plan to. And if you ask us, there’s nothing wrong with that! Instagram is a great place to learn about new places you may not have otherwise stumbled across, and to scope out the must-see sights in those destinations.
So, to help you plan your next vacay, we’ve rounded up the 10 most Insta-worthy and up-and-coming 2019 travel destinations you need to know about.
