Bali, Indonesia has the distinction of being the island with the largest number of hashtags on Instagram – more than 60 million – according to a ranking established by the travel agent Tourlane and published recently.
Based on the ranking, only islands that are not sovereign nations were considered eligible for inclusion, while those with fewer than 100,000 hashtags were automatically excluded.
The good news for Europeans is that once the lockdown is over, many of them will be able to embark on a trip to their island destination of choice without having to board a long-haul flight. In fact, 26 of the 50 most Instagrammed islands are located in Europe, with seven featuring in the top 10. (“Borneo” is ranked #22, although it is marked as an island in Indonesia, according to the list.)
