The growth of social media in terms of features and number of users makes its use broader, including in destination branding. The conventional destination branding model is transformed by utilizing social media, which tends to have a positive impact. This study attempted to find out about the effects of social media in the branding of Kampung Bekelir destinations in Tangerang City through Facebook and Instagram. The effects showed the branding of the destinations of Kampung Bekelir through image, recognition, and differentiation on Facebook and Instagram of Kampung Bekelir, which did not cause a positive outcome. In general, the use of social media in destination branding does not always guarantee effectiveness, but also depends on how the users involved in branding to create creative and interesting content in promoting their destination.
