Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly difficult for companies to reach potential customers, which is due to a society flooded with stimuli and advertisements. The Marketing activities of companies are in a state of change, due to the many possibilities offered by the Internet. Tour operators also struggle with this, as they can hardly reach certain target groups via traditional media anymore. From a consumer's point of view, the generation change has opened up a new target group, most of which are online. Another problem is that consumers are less and less trusting in traditional media and are instead following recommendations from friends and acquaintances. Companies must react to this trend and are forced to find alternative communication methods and integrate them into their existing Marketing system. One of these tools is Influencer Marketing, which many companies are now using and integrating as an important part of their Marketing mix.
