THE TOP 25 MOST POPULAR INSTAGRAM TRAVEL HASHTAGS IN 2025

Before you start using some of the top 25 popular travel hashtags on Instagram in 2025, let me tell you something you have probably been turning a blind eye toā€¦

Instagram is not helping your business.

InstagramĀ is mugging you in broad daylight.

InstagramĀ algorithm has been deliberately engineered to squeeze every last cent out of your marketing budget. Its showing your carefully crafted videos to roughly the same number of people who would notice if you screamed into your office refrigerator.

You thought you were building an audience on Instagram?

Nope.

Youā€™re renting one from landlords who charge you extra just to talk to your own followers.

In other words, you’re doing the digital equivalent of building an expensive vacation home on rented land that could be bulldozed at any moment.

Meanwhile, your customer acquisition costs are skyrocketing and Mark ZuckerbergĀ is laughing in a money-shaped bathtub.

The problem:
šŸšØ You donā€™t actually own your Instagram followers data
šŸšØ Your organic reach is being held hostage
šŸšØ Your Instagram ad spend is spiralling out of control
šŸšØ You canā€™t transfer your followers to your best CRM software no matter how many times youā€™ve dreamed about an “export” button

The solution:
šŸ”„ Stop relying on Instagram that treat you like an ATM
šŸ”„ Lower your customer acquisition costs without selling your kidney
šŸ”„ Build a marketing strategy with assets YOU own
šŸ”„ Master digital marketing so your sales skyrocket without depending on Instagram ads

I run some of the best digital marketing strategy workshops that will teach you how to ditch the algorithmic extortion racket and create a marketing system that actually works for you.

Because let’s be honest, if youā€™re still throwing money at Instagram ads hoping for different results, thatā€™s not marketing. Thatā€™s like calling your abusive ex at 2 AM: desperate, expensive, and guaranteed to end in disappointment.

Letā€™s craft the best digital marketing planĀ andĀ social media strategy that boosts sales andĀ customer lifetime value.
