While many videos on the app can serve as inspiration for travel destinations, users should always do their own research
TikTok videos tagged with #travel (and its multiple counterparts) have garnered more than 230 billion views on the app. Travel-related content ranges from displays of luxurious getaways to accounts dedicated to sharing affordable flights.
