Hotels

Consider this...

You are looking for a hotel to take your partner to for the weekend as a birthday treat. You go online and look at several hotels in the area you wish to visit. Most have a few nice photographs, however, one has a virtual tour that allows you to interactively wander around and view the reception area, the lobby, the restaurant/s and bar/s, the spa, a selection of rooms - including their bathrooms and views, and the grounds. It all looks fabulous. All other things being equal, which one would you choose...?

Customers are risk-averse...

and they what to know what they are getting before parting with their hard-earned cash. They want to know the quality of the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the restaurant, lounge, and bar, etc. Their worst case scenario is to turn up at a hotel they pre-booked only to be completely disappointed with it. If time was object they would visit each short-listed hotel and then make a decision which one to stay in. A virtual tour enables them to do just this any time, day or night, without having to step outside their own house. And hotels without virtual tours? They don't get on the shortlist...

An interactive 360˚ panorama or virtual tour motivates potential customers to dynamically explore your hotel on-line. Compelling virtual tours are proven to increase customer interest and those all-important bookings.

Show your confidence

Maybe your hotel isn't all that great. Maybe it is a bit "tired", dim, with poor views and poor facilities. Then the last thing you should to do is to have a virtual tour made of it!
Quite simply, a hotel that is prepared to put on display a virtual tour for the whole world to see, must be supremely confident that they have the right formula and that they have nothing to hide. This, in and of itself, will give confidence to potential customers...

Return on investment

The number and size of virtual tours that best promotes a hotel depends on its' size and range of facilities, and so costs vary widely. However, as a rough guide, we estimate the cost of a virtual tour to be between 7 - 14 room-days of a mid-priced room.

What this means is that the virtual tour has only to attract 10 - 18 room-day bookings (we have added 30% to cover customer servicing costs) - that you otherwise would not have made - and you have fully recovered your investment. We confidently predict that if you have a very nice hotel and competitors in your area do not have virtual tours, then you will get a return on your investment in the thousands of percent, year on year...
Conversely, if you are one of the hotels in your area that do not have a virtual tour - and competitors do - then we predict that you will see a progressive drop in bookings...
We also predict that soon - within ten years - that virtual tours will become the norm and that it will be nearly impossible to run a hotel successfully without one or more virtual tours...
