Social networks have become one of the main reasons why people usually travel and generate tourism.
Within the new normality, social networks play an almost indispensable role; however, these have also been involved in transforming reality, since users can only access what a photograph or video offers them, such is the case of the “pink sea” of Yucatan, place that has become famous mainly within platforms such as Instagram.
Currently, it is estimated that just over 50 percent of the world’s population, which would represent more than 80 percent of internet users, They have an active profile within one of the available digital platforms, so much so that today, platforms like Instagram They have a user base of more than 700 million monthly, of which little is estimated that just over 28 million are men and about 32 million are women.
“!We were scammed!”; show the reality of the “pink sea” of Yucatan
With the almost complete reopening of public spaces, and in general the reactivation of tourism, people have begun to travel more and more, this also in part encouraged by the use of social networks, because it is within these that all kinds of places go viral and popularize, Such is the case of the “pink sea” of Yucatan, a place that, although it has years and years of tradition, today is a recurrent tourism site, this in part due to the photographs and videos that can go viral.

However, as the video preserve shows, this is very far from reality, since the so-called “pink sea” is actually a salt factory, which is full of tourists, and at a considerable distance, because to get there you need to stay on the road for several hours; however, in commenting it has been pointed out that although the place is not a sea, it does offer a landscape worthy of a selfie, so the final decision to go or not will only depend on each one of the trips.
However, this is not the only occasion, in which the risk that is run within digital platforms has been demonstrated, because in recent months, fans of a famous streamers, they realized that the filter that made her look younger was deactivatedrevealing his true face, which had nothing to do with what he used to show on camera.
