I believe the use of social media in the hospitality industry plays a huge roll in its chances of success.It has evolved into something that brings in customers. People are traveling to places to eat somewhere they heared about through social media. If a celebrity posts or talks about your restuarant or hotel it could drastically change your business. Online photos give people a better idea of what your place has to offer and wether or not they should make the effort to go.

I always take photos of what i’m having at a restuarant, i post them onto snapchat or Instagram stories. Other people take photos and post them onto more permenant platforms like facebook, twitter, instagram, or blogs. I do it because i want the people who are watching my short videos to see some amazing food so that they could go try it in the future. I use different platforms for different reasons but for the most part its to share places, projects, and food. Its not just me lots of people do it now a days, its become such a reguler thing that quality has become the focus of popularity. Businesses are able to thrive with the right service, atmosphere, and food because people will be talking about it.

Social Media plays a very big role in the hospitality industry in this generation. Nowadays, people post things they do in their daily lives online; whether they’re just eating or even watching television. Personally, I am not fond of cameras and rarely take photos of myself; rather, I posts photos of days that were eventful to me. Days where I had a great day with my friends, or I had a certain food or drink that absolutely matched well with my tastebuds, and it could be both. I believe there are lots of benefits that the trend social media has on the hospitality industry. Nowadays, when people look for a certain place to eat, or simply have a nice time in, their second option after not liking or can not trust what they find on the internet, they go straight to social media to see where people go and what they thought about the place. Social media now serves as a self-promoting site, as well as a place to review about them; whether or not the place is “Legit”. As technology further advances, the trends that social media brings will continue to affect the hospitality industry, and it is up to us as part of the hospitality industry to make use of this tool to benefit our future careers and endeavors.
