Will Virtual Reality Replace Travel? Virtual Travel and the Future of Tourism
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.
