Attract new customers with a 360° virtual tour—the closest they can get to being there, before being there!
Holidaymakers don’t book on impulse anymore. They research. They compare. They hunt for that ‘wow’ factor before they even think about packing a suitcase. And what better way to captivate them than with an interactive virtual tour?
Instead of scrolling past still images, they’re transported straight into your attraction, hotel, or experience—walking the halls, soaking up the scenery, feeling the atmosphere before they even click ‘Book Now’.
Why you need a virtual tour
The travel industry is saturated, with attractions needing to get more creative in the fight for attention. A virtual tour helps you standout. While competitors may rely on brochures and generic stock images, you get to offer a ‘first-hand’, interactive preview of the experience. And that’s powerful. Here are 4 key reasons to consider putting virtual tours to work in leisure and tourism:
Visitor interest
A few static photos? Snooze-worthy. A full 360° virtual experience? That’s where curiosity turns into excitement. From escape rooms to health spas, art galleries to historic landmarks, letting potential visitors ‘step inside’ builds intrigue. And intrigue leads to bookings.
Emotional appeal
Travel is about emotions. The anticipation, the excitement, the sense of adventure. A well-executed virtual tour doesn’t just showcase a location; it lets people get closer to feeling it. The moment someone ‘walks’ through your venue and imagines being there, half the job is done.
Improved conversions
Uncertainty kills bookings. People can hesitate when they don’t know what to expect. A virtual tour removes that hesitation. It provides an immersive sense of what to expect—every detail, every space, every selling point—building confidence that your location is the right choice.
Global reach
In leisure and tourism, your audience isn’t local—it’s worldwide. Someone in Tokyo, New York, or Sydney could be just as likely to be your next guest as someone 10 miles away. Virtual tours erase geographical barriers, allowing anyone, anywhere, to explore what you offer, at any time.
How virtual tours work for leisure and tourism
A virtual tour presents a collection of 360 degree interactive images stitched together to give a sense of movement through a space—indoors or outside.
It starts with the production of creative 360° photography—capturing the key details of each area of your location. Then comes the magic: weaving those images into an interactive digital journey that leaves the viewer impressed, engaged, and inspired.
Clickable hotspots – Draw attention to key features or visitor information: architectural features, spa treatments, VIP experiences, menus. Let visitors find out more about your best bits.
