A social gathering will combine with social media in a new form of tourism marketing with the Redlands to host an Instameet at Wellington Point on Saturday, October 4.
The event is part of the Queensland Holiday initiative "Best Instameet in the world" being held across Queensland.
An Instameet is a group of Instagrammers or photographers meeting at a pre-determined place and time to socialise while taking photos that are then shared with the group and other social media users through Instagram.
Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said social media had changed the way people shared stories of great tourism locations.
"This is a great opportunity to highlight what Redlanders already know that the Redlands is the best place to live, work and to play," she said.
The Wellington Point event starts at 4pm and will feature 20-year-old Instragram influencer Alex Korica (@alex korica), who will provide some tips that have helped him generate a following of more than 12,000 on Instragram.
Wellington Point divisional councillor Wendy Boglary said the Wellington Point pier had become a frequently photographed Redlands tourist location.
"Wellington Point offers plenty for photographers and it is great that its beauty will be seen by thousands across the world through this Instameet," she said.
"This is a great opportunity to meet people and help promote the Redlands, so everyone should grab their phone or camera and get down there on the day and don't forget to hashtag #thisisqueensland and #redlandsanyday."
