Don’t Let The Pandemic Beat You Down
2020 might be remembered for one of the worst pandemic to
hit humankind, but this could also be the year that gave birth to the highest
number of innovations as countries and businesses pivoted themselves as per the
need of the hour, or year in this case.
The ever unprecedented COVID 19 hit the tourism industry
the hardest. Countries' sealed borders, airlines were grounded, people feared
travelling. For years, popular destinations that were thronged by millions
through the year, bore a deserted look. While some countries have opened
borders, travellers are still shaky to travel with no vaccine yet for
Coronavirus.
Amid the pandemic this year, tourism companies and boards
are looking at new ways to promote themselves and still get people across the
globe experience the mystique, the beauty and the enlightenment of what they
have to offer.
Virtual Reality (VR) in the very idea of it is meant to
change what we see around. These new age technologies were meant to enhance our
experience and increase our joy while exploring the world. And today, VR is a
perfect tool for tourism. It adds new value and opens new opportunities
So, this World Tourism Day, while you stay in the safe
confinements of your home, let's get started with our virtual tour with Excitel’s unlimited data plans. At last I would like to conclude that virtual reality may never replace traditional travel, but
it still offers intriguing possibilities. If the technology becomes
sophisticated enough, the more environmentally conscious among us—especially
those aiming to reduce our carbon footprint might prefer this form of escape.VR
travel does bring parts of the world to people who are physically unable to
visit certain landmarks. Most of all, it could help bring people to places that
are otherwise inaccessible. So, here is where to go during the pandemic,
safely!
