Virtual Tour and Hotels
Anyone who manages a hotel and plans its promotion strategy knows this: virtual tour is a powerful and necessary marketing tool for the hotel sector. Facilities that use it have a real competitive advantage over those that only draw on photography and have proven over time to achieve much higher conversion rates.
Research carried out in the hotel world reported that:
- 75% of potential Hotel customers prefer the virtual tour rather than a static photograph
- some of the structures that use virtual tours have increased bookings by up to 85%
- hotel websites that have an integrated virtual tour entertain up to 3 times more visitors
But does it apply to any virtual tour you choose?
The more strategic the value of a content, the more it will be necessary to produce it with quality and accuracy, thinking about what would make it more effective with an audience of potential customers. Image resolution, fluidity of the walk within the tour, but also the rendering of lights and colors can be important factors. Together with these, the possibility for the visitor to move easily within very large structures with different environments becomes a determining factor.
This is why creating a virtual tour with virtual and interactive signage can prove to be the right choice to differentiate yourself from the competition and make the virtual tour of your hotel much more effective.
