After over a year of being in lockdown, people are finally ready to start traveling again. Plans are being made and events are forming. However, travelers are still being cautious when it comes to choosing their hotels. 

As hotels hold guests year around, travelers want to ensure that their stay will be comfortable, exciting, and most importantly, safe. That is why, now more than ever, it is essential for hotels to invest in virtual tours. With Virtual360NY’s expertise, hotels can be showed off in a whole new way.

Here are the top 5 reasons why hotels need virtual tours:

1. Increased bookings:

Virtual tours can highlight captivating aspects of a hotel and improve the aesthetic and professionalism of a website. Not only will this significantly increase traffic to the website, but it will also allow clients to book their stay with ease and excitement.

2. Memorable first impressions:

First impressions are important. When clients are looking for a place to stay, they tend to go straight to the hotel’s photo album to get a sense of what the place looks like. However many times, the photos are very limited and are sometimes not satisfying. Therefore an engaging, interactive, virtual tour can grab your audience’s attention and create a positive first impression.

3. Increase trust and transparency:

 Virtual tours are a great way for hotels to be transparent, honest, and open. In a digital world where clients are booking events online, a full 360 tour of a venue is one of the best ways for clients to understand the space and be confident in their bookings.

4. Save client’s time:

 A virtual tour can save your client’s time by allowing them to see what they are paying for before they get there. Especially in this post-pandemic age, potential clients can ensure if a venue is right for them without having to physically go see it in-person. 

5. Reach a large customer base

Virtual tours can significantly raise your website’s ranking on Google searches. It raises the website’s SEO and allows it to stand out. When users spend extra time looking at a listing’s virtual tour, Google raises that listing’s ranking for more people to see. Therefore a virtual tour can be a cost effective way to increase a hotel’s bookings and rankings.
