A virtual
tour is a collection of an existing location, usually composed of a
sequence of video or still images. They also may use other multimedia elements
such as sound effects, music, narration, and text. The phrase "virtual
tour" is often used to describe a variety of video and photographic-based media.
Panorama indicates an unbroken view, since a panorama can be either a series of
photographs or panning video footage. However, the phrases "panoramic
tour" and "virtual tour" have mostly been associated with
virtual tours created using still cameras. Such virtual tours are made up of a
number of shots taken from a single vantage point. The camera and lens are
rotated around what is referred to as a no parallax point (the exact point at
the back of the lens where the light converges).
Virtual tours
are used extensively for universities and in the real estate industry. Virtual Tours can allow a user to
view an environment whilst on-line. Currently a variety of industries use such
technology to help market their services and product. Over the last few years
the quality, usability and accessibility of virtual tours has improved
considerably, with some websites allowing the user to navigate the tours by
clicking on maps or integrated floor plans.

Objectives of the project:-
Tourism
has been transformed over the course of the last decades, from a privilege of
the few to a massive phenomenon, which contributes considerably to the local
and national economy. Besides budget airlines and organized tourism resorts,
the Internet has played a major role in the transformation of the tourism
industry. The new marketing opportunities the Internet has given travel agents
and tourism professionals, have brought massive changes on vacation promotion
and planning.
Before
the Internet usage became widespread, travel agents and hotel or resort owners,
depended on the advertising space of mainstream media, such as newspapers,
magazines and television. To reach an international audience, they had to turn
to government agencies and official tourism boards. With the Internet, each
party has the opportunity to create its own website, add as much information
they like and include text descriptions, photos and videos of their offers to
potential visitors.
Tailored Information
In
the past, tourists had to choose from the packages offered by travel agents, or
those mentioned in the media. Now, Internet users can roam through endless
choices of accommodation, transportation and leisure and tailor their trips
according to their needs. For this purpose, online tourism marketing has taken
a turn for a more personalized approach to customers, offering choices
according to age group, gender and purpose of travel, as well as the ability
for tourists to create a package of their own.
Global Appeal
The
Internet's global appeal has changed the marketing strategy of everyone
involved in the tourism industry. From the local population, now the target
audience is the whole world, or at least the citizens of developed countries,
who are the most likely to embark on international travel. Every website is
localized, aiming to reach as many potential customers as possible worldwide.
Instant Booking
The
ability of users to book an offer that has impressed them with just a click,
has given travel marketing a new challenge. Websites have to use the latest
technology, including high-definition videos and interactive applications to
attract users. Professional writers are hired to produce compelling descriptions
of the offer and convince users why it is important to book on the spot.
Special offers are presented to customers who arrange their vacations through
the Internet.
Feasibility Report:
Feasibility Report:
A feasibility study is an evaluation
and analysis of the potential of the proposed project which is based on
extensive investigation and research to give full comfort to the decisions
makers. Feasibility studies aim to objectively and rationally uncover the
strengths and weaknesses of an existing business or proposed venture,
opportunities and threats as presented by the environment, the resources
required to carry through, and ultimately the prospects for success. In its
simplest terms, the two criteria to judge feasibility are cost required and
value to be attained. As such, a well-designed feasibility study should provide
a historical background of the business or project, description of the product
or service, accounting statements, details of the operations and management,
marketing research and policies, financial data, legal requirements and tax
obligations. Generally, feasibility studies precede technical development and
project implementation.
Objective of
Feasibility Study:
A
feasibility study evaluates the project's potential for success; therefore, the
perceived objectivity is an important factor in the credibility to be placed on
the study by potential investors and lending institutions. It must therefore be
conducted with an objective, unbiased approach to provide information upon
which decisions can be based.
