As a product manager at Instagram, my goal would be to build a product that makes travel planning more accessible and enjoyable for users. To accomplish this, I would focus on creating a seamless user experience that integrates with Instagram's existing features and allows users to easily discover and plan trips within the app. One potential approach could be to create a "Travel" tab within the Instagram app that allows users to browse and save travel-related content from other users and travel brands. This tab could also feature curated travel guides that highlight popular destinations and provide recommendations for hotels, restaurants, and activities. To further enhance the travel planning experience, I would explore the possibility of integrating booking options directly within the app. For example, users could book flights and hotels through Instagram's travel partners without ever having to leave the app. Overall, my goal would be to create a product that not only helps users plan their trips, but also inspires them to explore new destinations and share their travel experiences with others on Instagram.
