Virtual Tourism

The most frequently discussed tourism category among Twitter influencers and Redditors is virtual tourism. The topic of virtual tourism was discussed in relation to how different technology-enabled methods, such as 360-degree photos, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), a video tour, and Google Arts, have given visitors a new experience.

A virtual tour is a recreation of a real place and is typically made out of a series of films or still photos. Other multimedia components like sound effects, music, narration, and text may also be used. It differs from using live television to influence teletourism. The majority of influencers had favorable opinions of virtual tourism because it offered a different way for the travel industry to revive interest in tourists during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which social estrangement became the new normal.
