Many travel companies offer perks such as free stays to social media influencers who end up promoting stays and destinations. These peer-to-peer advertising opportunities online are boosting the experience economy. This is because potential travelers whose social media feeds are flooded with third-party travel stories and photos are encouraged to plan a trip themselves.
