Instagram your city
Instagram meet-ups in tourism towns of the Girona area, coinciding with important events
MARCH 2014
The Patronat de Turisme is launching a new social network initiative entitled "Instagram your City" to publicise and communicate the tourist attractions of the tourism towns of the Costa Brava and Pirineu de Girona destination.
Instagram is a free photo-sharing application for mobile devices (Android and iOS) through which photos can be uploaded and then altered through the use of various filters. Instagram photos can be shared with other social networks such as Twitter and Facebook.
In line with the strategy of the Patronat de Turisme for the promotion of the destination through social networks, the "Instagram your City" project is a photograph competition aimed at tourism towns in the Girona area that wish to showcase and publicise their attractions through the use of this application and the possibilities for boosting communities in social networks.
"Instagram your City" consists of periodically organising, at the request of tourism towns, an Instagram meet-up to visit and photograph the town/city on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Those taking part in the meet-up can spend a day discovering the town and a series of activities to enjoy with family or friends.
The meet-ups will be publicised through the Costa Brava and Pirineu de Girona profiles and the Instagramers Girona profile. Anybody with an Instagram profile can sign up for a meet-up.
The first Instagram meet-up, #InstaGirona i #InCostaBrava, will take place on 26th January in Girona coinciding with the #Girona10 event.
