Audience
Hotel Owners, Marketers, Event Coordinators and Sales Teams
Goal
To increase occupancy rates and host more events.
Current Situation:
Hotels can utilize VR as a marketing tool to get more bookings, both for rooms and for events. However, many hotels have not yet taken advantage of this technology
Why Gap Occurred ?
Hotels are unaware of the ease of creating and distributing VR through a platform like InstaVR.
