In case you missed it... Instagram is leaning heavily into local discovery with features like Instagram Map and Nearby location feeds, making it easier than ever for users to find regional content. 📍
By pulling public videos and Reels based on geotags, this functionality shifts how users find local experiences, connecting them directly with regional communities right when they are looking for something to do.
For visitor attractions, this is a massive win for driving spontaneous, local footfall. It levels the playing field, ensuring your content surfaces directly in front of nearby tourists and residents looking for real-time inspiration, regardless of whether they follow your account.
