380MAPA CW2 Video.

This video presents elements of my individual work that connects my digital research and findings. Using ‘BrunchLoversLyon’ as a case study, I explore how social media sites such as Instagram contribute to the concept of virtual tourism. I discuss the popularity of these sites over official tourist information sites and the impact this has on virtual tourism.

None of the images used in this video are owned by me, these are merely sreen-recordings.
