The Best Travel Hashtags for Hotels

Paid advertising has swiftly taken over social media, no matter what the channel is. These posts take precedence when it comes to making their way in front of an audience, which causes an issue for those attempting to maximize engagement with organic posts. Organic reach has been significantly diminished on all social media channels. From Facebook’s EdgeRank to both Twitter and Instagram recently switching to an algorithm-based newsfeed, it means that you have to carefully craft content so that it receives the highest number of impressions possible. Everyone knows that if you want to increase your post reach quickly, all you have to do is add some hashtags. The key is knowing the right hashtags to use for your hotel that will maximize reach and increase engagement.

Here are some popular hashtags related to travel. Along with this set, you also want to include hashtags related to your location. For example, if your hotel is located in Los Angeles, you can take advantage of hashtags like #LosAngeles, #LA, #DowntownLA, #Hollywood, #California, etc.

You must be optimizing each social media post so that it is viewed by the most people possible. Using the above hashtags for your hotel can make this happen. Depending on the channel you are using, you want to keep the number of hashtags in mind. For example, Twitter users only have 140 characters to spell out their message. You don’t want to make your post look like spam by making every other word a hashtag. Happy hashtagging!
