So what are the benefits of a 360 virtual tour? With the increase in popularity of Virtual Reality (VR), immersive tours where the viewer is in the virtual space will be a big advantage to the progressive hotel in. the not too distant future. Our 360 Tours can already be exported to view on the latest Occulus headsets!

A survey has shown that having a virtual tour potentially increases customer engagement and leads to increased bookings. Although unsubstantiated, this does have a ring of truth about it. In this Covid ravaged world guests and corporate customers are more and more reluctant to travel to view a hotel. This increases the need for hotel visibility. Surely it is much better for them to actually be able to see an entire room, rather than a close up photo, showing nothing of the actual rooms, on a posh website.

Cost! The actual photography for 360 tours takes a fraction of the time than conventional still photography. Much of the costs involved are in the compiling and editing of the panoramas and website.

Booking.com now permit 360 imagery on their website. So it not only means that you have a 360 virtual tour, but that you can promote yourself through 360 media on one of the largest Online Travel Agents (OTAs) in the world.

Aerial 360 panoramas are now also achievable with the latest drones. So not only can your customers see around the hotel rooms and spaces, they can also view the surroundings. Is your hotel in London or another famous city? Let them see how close you are to the attractions. Is your hotel located in beautiful grounds? Let your customers see the beautiful surroundings of your location.
