Instagram adds travel search appeal

As if Instagram wasn’t appealing enough to the travel industry, it’s gone and introduced some brand new features for explorers.

The happy app is introducing a largely improved search experience, including the addition of Places Search, which makes it easier to discover new places around the world.

With Places Search, you can take a peek into just about any location on earth to see what’s happening right now.

Ideal for researching exotic locations, exploring a new getaway destination or a hot new restaurant, taking a virtual look at a hotel or just seeing whether it’s sunny at your favourite beach, the new feature brings a world of advantages for any traveller.

You can even drop in on fashion shows and music festivals in real time, no matter where you are in the world.

On top of this, Instagram is also introducing Top Search, which lets you search across People, Places and Tags all from a single search box.

With 300 million+ Instagrammers in every corner of the world, there will be countless people capturing every event, sunset and foodie moment you’d ever want to see.

Places are a rich source of visual content and, for the first time, Instagram will be able to show users which individual locations are trending on the app.

Instagram 7.0 is available today in Apple’s App Store, and for Android on Google Play.
