Abstract

Today blogs and social networks have changed forms of interaction and ways of exchanging information, but there is a conflict between social media and the dimensions of real experience which are becoming increasingly important. This conflict is particularly clear in tourism where there are contradictions between virtual and subjective realities and the true and sensory aspects of travel. Individual sensibilities mean that everyone has different and expectations of travel, and online information often fails to take this into account. This paper discusses the search for common ground between individual subjective evaluations of a view, for example, and the unfiltered and not necessarily truthful reports of travel found on social networks. How far do these forums influence travel decisions and experiences? Who chooses to communicate and live travel online? And lastly, is landscape and travel influenced by new forms of social communication?
