The Internet has been an essential part of transforming communication and boosting digital infrastructures everywhere. In the broader context, the railways have played a role that’s very much the same.

The tourism market has seen a staggering decline in recent years, especially in a world that’s recovering from the after-effects of a global pandemic. For instance, it was revealed that the number of international tourists dropped by over 70% after 2020.

50% of travelers globally are using virtual reality to facilitate their travel booking and enhance their experience (according to Statista).

This means VR integration is as important as a website or virtual reality application for the travel and tourism industry players to effectively reach this demographic. 

And major brands have been responding to it. Virtual field trips by AirBnB, virtual reality booking service by Amadeus, and the Galactica VR rollercoaster experience by Alton Towers are major examples of strides in this direction.

Stats show that this is the way forward for the travel and tourism industry as a whole.
