Abstract

This study investigates the influence of reels and short hiking videos on hiking motivation and interest among hikers. This research examines how reels and short videos affect individuals' motivation to participate in hiking. The popularity of social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok has transformed how people perceive and engage with outdoor activities. This study explores how short-form video content influences participants' attitudes and motivation toward hiking by surveying the hikers. The results indicate that visually appealing content significantly boosts motivation, encourages outdoor exploration, and fosters a sense of community among viewers. These findings highlight the potential of social media as a powerful marketing tool for promoting outdoor activities and provide valuable insights for organizers aiming to increase participation in hiking and other nature-related pursuits.
