Has Social Media Completely Ruined Travel?

Travel publication Fodor's is asking whether social media has completely ruined travel, reigniting a familiar debate about overtourism, Instagram-driven crowds at famous landmarks, and trips planned for photos rather than experience. The question touches on rising visitor numbers at fragile destinations and the pressure travelers feel to replicate viral images instead of exploring on their own terms.
