One day, when people walk up and look around, they can see all the world into their room that is a wonderfulness.

Now, people can think about what reality posed can bring to tourism.

Also, marketing can help company to improve their produce better and raises the profile of the company and its products in the public mind.

And, Virtual reality is a new key for now.

What you get when you go to a travel company?

- Poster.
- Images.
- One dialogue with employee.
-Think about a good travel by brain, idea, and what customer want to see.

why Virtual reality is a new key?

One-day, when people want to order or book a tour from a tour-company and they want to check some tours. so, human always put their feeling on a worry around the tours and if they think what they worry may has problem, and then they will take  questions, changes, or stop the tour.

Customer can:


  1. -vivid images
  2. -real video
  3. -real audio



 that can create to them a feeling  want to get the tour.


“When someone is sending you 50,000 visitors a year, we think it is a good investment to give them headsets,” said Walden, who estimated the cost of the headsets at a few hundred dollars each.


                      

If a travel company think about financial matter,  how much they will pay to a service use virtual reality technology. So, they should think about what they will get after they pay it.


“When Facebook spends US$2 billion on something, you have to believe it has merit,” said Destination BC CEO Marsha Walden. “And when you’re doing something in marketing, being first out of the gate is often where you have the best opportunity to engage people.”


And. when one thing with its benefit come that will bring  a negative thing come together.

The video used on virtual reality technology is very true, and make customers to good feeling. So, customers may not want to get the tour because their aspirations have been fulfilled, also, the investment will fail and cost for advertising.

The first feeling always put people on cool feeling, and the second one, the feeling will cut back. And, the reality is not as expected. How can company maintain that sense of fun?


What do you think about using virtual reality will be a new way for tourism industry?
If the virtual reality will be a good thing that people will choice, do you thing what people need it to improve?
What people will get when the virtual reality become popular or make a new wave in the world?
