Tropical North Queensland has plotted itself on social media, with the launch of an Instamap, revealing the region’s most ‘Instagrammable’ locations.

The Instamap will encourage visitors to share their photos with the hashtag #exploreTNQ, Tourism Tropical North Queensland (TTNQ) chief executive officer Alex de Waal said.

Mossman Gorge is a magical place where the creeks, rivers and rainforest uplift your spirit and refresh your mind, like only the beauty of nature can! @jodielbray

Mr. de Waal said Instagram was proving a popular way of promoting the region with almost 40,000 followers of the @tropicalnorthqueensland Instagram account.

The Instamap will be included in Passport to Tropical North Queensland, a new visitor magazine of 200,000 copies published by the Cairns Post, to be distributed to visitors arriving in the region through Cairns Airport from Wednesday April 15.
