Spanish term or phrase: rincón
The text is speaking of an Internet platform for travel bloggers. Apparently a "rincón" is something like a discussion area for a particular subject or experience.

En este periodo los usuarios han compartido un total de 230 rincones, 407 experiencias, 2534 fotos y 53 videos y el valor de las ventas hoteleras (sin incluir vuelos) ha sido...

Explanation:
I don't know about anyone else, but this seems like a likely option here, considering it's a 'travel' blog.

From Oxford Spanish dictionary:

B: (lugar): interesantes rincones de nuestra geografía - interesting spots in our country; un rincón aislado y tranquilo a remote - peaceful spot o place;

locations (spots)


Explanation:
I believe that here, this means "spots" or "locations" in the sense of "beauty spots/hidden places". In travel parlance, Spanish often uses "rincon" (corner, nook) to describe locations and it occurs in many toponyms (Rincón de Ademúz is one near me).
There may be possible confusion with the use of "rincon" for a chat area on a website, such "El Rincon del Vago"... but I think in this case we may be dealing with real holiday spots rather than some virtual chattering space.

no es riincón de chat tampoco. Does it really matter? Chat corner, chat room and chat area all sound good to me. Are we not splitting hairs here?

neutral  neilmac: It seems pretty likely that they're talking about physical (holiday/touristy) locations rather than the chat area/room/ etc.
