ContentScout's own analysis: we sample real public posts matching travel search terms on YouTube and score them by how much engagement they're getting relative to how recently they were posted.

How is this ranking measured?+
ContentScout reads public social data from YouTube travel posts and ranks the hashtags using its own scoring system based on the sample.

Which hashtag appears on the most posts?+
#travel appears on 61 posts in the sample, which is the highest frequency of any tag on the list.
Do these view counts guarantee results?+
No. A hashtag's average views describe the posts using it in the sample, not a guarantee of performance for your own content.

The data does not suggest using all of them together. Mix broad tags like #travel with specific tags that fit your individual post.
