TGTF Bridging The Gap
Chances are, that if you are a traveler, you must be planning a hefty chunk of your travel escapades based on the content you consume virtually.
Be it travel-related reels, pictures, or other such social media content. Most of us get inspired to pack our bags based on just social media, with little to no interaction with the tourism industry experts.
