Abstract Social media marketing includes tourist marketing via social media, and it includes video platforms and social niche apps, which are promotional integration and a digital marketing mix. These are Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and others, and are important for promoting Udaipur, Mount Abu, Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh, Dungarpur, and Banswara. This study examines the impact of social media strategies on fostering tourists and influencer marketing, and on the brand of the destinations, including those stated above. A determination of 350 respondents, including domestic, international tourists, and professionals in the field of tourism, and using a structured questionnaire. These respondents used apps and social media platforms to promote and build tourist destinations. Social media platforms have not only built the marketing of Dungarpur, Mount Abu, Udaipur, Kumbhalgarh, Chittorgarh, and Banswara, but have also changed their perceptions of these destinations and influenced the change in travel motivation and intent. Social media marketing enhanced and retained engagement, fostering motivation and intent, to travel to the destinations in Southern Rajasthan. Increase in concern for authenticity in target consumers, lack of more inclusive marketing or promotional strategies, lack of strategies to decrease over-commercialization, minimal target marketing, and the non-inclusive portrayal of destinations remain the challenge. An ethically inclusive, more culturally sensitive engagement across social media platforms for Southern Rajasthan and its Dungarpur, Udaipur, Mount Abu, Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh, and Banswara tourism marketing is recommended to enhance positive social media marketing and culturally inclusive social media marketing.
