Explore Wales digitally from your office

Ever wondered how you can engage in <strong><em>Virtual Tourism</em></strong> ideas to keep potential visitors engaged, and to inspire them to visit when they can, we hope in the not too distant future.<strong>Visit Wales</strong> <em>has</em> a great example of Virtual Tourism with its’ Travel Trade Fact Sheet titled <strong><em>Virtual tours and short films of Wales product.</em></strong>

It’s a list of Travel Trade friendly products in Wales which offer virtual tours and short films. While you’re in lockdown, can’t travel or just delaying travel, this is a great place for you to start your research from the comfort of your home office. <em></em>It’s a great way to connect your Tourism products with folks that would love to visit but just can’t get there right now. The only shame is that this list is aimed at the Travel Trade - I’m sure that the public at large would also love to watch this content as well. Would make a great playlist for would-be visitors to Wales.Ok, that’s enough from me - let the content do the talking.
