Future of Virtual Reality in Tourism
Travel is
a sector that I’m particularly passionate about, and one that’s
suffered immensely in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. As the industry
looks to the future, one of its biggest concerns will be how to improve
the whole travel experience and reduce some of the “pain points” that come with travel. I believe VR and AR could help with this.
If the current trajectory of technological advancement is any indication, the hottest destination of the next decade won’t be transoceanic, it’ll be hard-coded.
With globe-trotting a distant memory as we continue to fight a pandemic that’s forced us to stay indoors, increasing numbers of pent-up people are swapping their sunglasses for virtual reality headsets and holidaying together in the ‘metaverse.’
Allowing VR to permanently shake off its image of being a gimmick in the tourism sector, Covid-19 has brought with it a growing demand for escapism and consequently a ‘watershed moment’ for the capabilities of reality altering technology (according to analysts). Many believe that it’ll transform VR’s reputation as a marketing gimmick into a permanent fixture of tourism.
