Visit Maryland’s Instagram Page Reaches 10,000 Followers

Marking a major milestone, Visit Maryland’s official Instagram page reached 10,000 followers last week and continues to climb rapidly. As a thank you to its followers, Visit Maryland held a giveaway for its Instagram network followers. “We are pleased to see the growth of followers and the continued engagement from our Instagram audience,” says Leland Strott, social and digital projects coordinator, Maryland Office of Tourism. “Locals and visitors alike are tagging their own stunning scenic images with our hashtag, #MDinFocus, which we repost on a daily basis. Browsing those images is an amazing display of the pride that we all share for Maryland.”

The milestone is consistent with the strong and steady growth that Maryland Tourism has been experiencing across social media platforms.
