FlipKey Expands Catalog of Virtual Tours
Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 25, 2015 -- FlipKey, a leading vacation rental marketplace, launched the third installment of its virtual tours today, offering a preview of 11 more top global vacation destinations, including popular US areas Gatlinburg and Myrtle Beach, as well as European hot spots Nice and Tuscany. Providing travelers with an on-the-ground feel for each destination, the tours help travelers decide where to book their next big vacation and what to do while they’re there.
“We are thrilled to expand our virtual tour program to these new destinations,” said Eric Horndahl, FlipKey’s Vice President of Marketing. “We chose these locations for our newest installment because they’re high-demand locations for our travelers, so we already know these tours will offer a great preview. We wanted to feature different types of destinations such as more urban settings like Vancouver and Savannah, as well as regional vacations in the Texas Gulf Coast and the Florida Panhandle.”
For each location, the virtual walking tours allow travelers to explore six different areas using Google Street Views, high-resolution images, and parallax scrolling technology. Travelers looking to explore Nashville can essentially “walk” through downtown or see the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum by scrolling. Tuscany’s tour offers an up-close feel for attractions such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa or Accademia Gallery.
Altogether, FlipKey’s library of virtual tours features over 90 things to do across 15 different destinations. The virtual tour series will further help travelers plan the best vacation based on things that matter to them.
