We all love getting that perfect holiday snap that encapsulates the spirit of our trip, to be able to look back on for #memories. Social media is a huge part of our everyday lives and how it’s even influencing the way we holiday and enjoy short breaks, with new research by boutique aparthotel group Roomzzz has suggested that “parents are choosing holiday and short break destinations based on how good they will look on their social media feeds”.
