In line with this, firstly, the modern travel blog was defined, and then a list of hashtags that could be used to identify Belgium-based travel blog accounts on Instagram was created based on this definition. Following this first step, a dataset was obtained using the hashtags #belgiantravelblogger and #travelbelgium via the social media harvesting tool Instaloader. Upon examining this dataset, it was determined that this dataset could provide us with a detailed analysis of the Belgian travel bloggers visiting different countries and the bloggers visiting Belgium from different countries, respectively. In addition, the dataset we obtained allows us to analyse data such as the number of likes, the engagement rates, the countries and cities mentioned in the captions, and the most preferred emoji's.
