Looks like the Philippines is primed to be a huge travel spot once COVID-19
goes away. Our beaches and islands have been bagging travel awards left and
right, and this time, it’s the entire country that scored a major travel
recognition from the tourism industry.
The Philippines was named the second most Instagrammable place in the world by
world travel site
Big 7 Travel. Only Japan beat the Philippines from the top spot, but second place is
still a huge honor considering we beat the likes of Paris, New York City,
Cuba, London, and more.
Travel nowadays is much about documentation as it is about the experience, and
the Philippines appears to be one of the most beautiful, aesthetic, and
Instagrammable locations in the world, according to Big 7’s 1.5 million
respondents and global editorial team.
Here’s a list of the top 10 Instagrammable places in the world:
1. Tokyo, Japan
2. The Philippines
3. Paris, France
4. New York City, USA
5. Istanbul, Turkey
6. Dubai, UAE
7. Havana, Cuba
8. Sydney, Australia
9. London, England
10. Chicago, USA
“There’s no doubt the Covid pandemic has brought about a new appreciation for
travel. With many around the globe eager to pack their bags and head to the
next bucket-list destination, those Insta-worthy shots are sought after now
more than ever. Whether you aim to capture the cultural allure, scenic beauty
or mouthwatering food of a destination, this list has you in mind,” Big 7
Travel introduced the 50 destinations in the list.
“Home to incredible natural wonders like an underground river and tranquil
rice terraces in addition to a vibrant culture and history spanning several
millennia, and over 7,500 islands – the Philippines as a whole are extremely
Instagrammable. From the bustling capital of Manila complete with colourful
colonial streets to the absolute oasis of Boracay, the gram opportunities here
are endless,” the website described the Philippines.
According to the website, the list was based on a scoring system that analyzed
the number of hashtags per destination, survey results from the site's 1.5
million social media audience and inputs from its editorial team.
This is the third year that the site revealed the world's most Instagrammable
destinations; Sydney came in at no.1 for both 2019 and 2020.
