Abstract: Most travelers take photographs when they encounter impressive scenes. One of the tourism areas that has recently been receiving a great amount of attention is "photogenic tourism."

“…More than two decades ago, Turkle (1999, p. 644) hinted at ‘some sense of the possibilities for self‐discovery.’ But efforts to explore the possibilities Turkle (1999) envisioned are yet to emerge. Though the authors acknowledge that there have been attempts to explore the process of self‐discovery through experiential activities (e.g., Hanai et al, 2018; Laing & Frost, 2017), the technology‐specific aspects are largely unexplored. Wu et al (2011) established the role of self–discovery in consumption, where self‐discovery represented the self‐knowledge developed by answering standard questionnaires (e.g., personality‐type questionnaires).…”

“…According to the psychological concepts of self, such as the twin metaphors of self and identity (Waterman, 1984), consumers may construct or discover new elements about themselves through their online experiences. While consumer self‐discovery has been investigated in non‐digital experiential contexts such as travel narratives (Laing & Frost, 2017) and photography (Hanai et al, 2018), the ubiquitous role of technology in self‐discovery remains under‐explored. Self‐discovery is an important area to be explored, as knowing oneself is crucial to well‐being (Laing & Frost, 2017) and can aid consumers in making better life decisions.…”

“…In addition, they sometimes confirmed their own hobbies and preferences while noticing new things about themselves. Based on their research, Hanai et al [2018] examined the role of travel photography as encompassing travelers' self-discovery and self-expression. According to the results, about half of the surveyed university students found that interesting travel photos on SNS influenced their decision to travel.…”
