Virtual Reality Travel: How it will affect the travel and tour industry

,

Have you ever imagined a situation where you can enjoy the amazing vacation experience of your dream destination without even flying? I mean, an experience that makes you travel to your dream destination, in a first-class flight, a four-course dinner, and a city tour — right from your seat on a stationary plane that never moved an inch.

Simply amazing right?

Yes, I am talking about the future of air travel according to First Airlines, a Japanese company that has been able to capture the power of virtual reality to enable travelers to experience dream vacation come true!

This is an experience that saves you from the stress of enduring long queues at the airport, absolute no baggage expenses, or costly airport transfers.

 

Affordable
Hiroaki Abe, the First Airlines manager claimed that “it’s quite difficult to have a trip because of the cost of time and money”, but with virtual reality travel experience, a first-class ticket could cost as low as $56 while a business class could cost $46. “This is far more affordable than physical travel.” He said.

The two-hour flight experience will require guests to settle down into the state-of-the-art Airbus seat — surrounded by decorations that look exactly like the inside of an aircraft for maximum realism. Passengers will enjoy delicious meals alongside drinks and other snacks by the air hostess based on the menu peculiar to their destination. Guests will also get to enjoy upon arrival, a 360-degree tour of the destination via the effective projection mapping and video imaging devices.

 

Virtual travel is the future, and it is the reality of a stress-free vacation that does not limit the traveler’s health or budget.
Travelers can book their tickets from the website of First Airlines and enjoy the wonders of the world without leaving their houses.

 

While we wait a little bit more for the Covid-19 curve to flatten, we are enthusiastic about the future and the threshold of how things unfold. Many are waiting for brand new experiences Post-Covid. What are you waiting for?

The Mental Benefits of Vacationing Somewhere New

,

Coming off the winter holidays, most of us start dreaming of, if not planning, our spring and summer getaways. It’s tempting, of course, to default to the same vacation each year: your family’s cabin, a familiar beach town, your favorite city, that resort the kids loved. We often choose to spend our hard-earned money on comfort, predictability, and relaxation, and there are benefits to doing so.

But as a psychologist, I believe that travel should routinely be used to achieve the opposite: to get out of your comfort zone, expose yourself to uncertainty, and eschew rest for exploration and learning. The result is personal growth — greater emotional agility, empathy, and creativity. A recent trip to Sri Lanka, with an unexpected stop in Thailand, led me to think more deeply about the positive impact of adventures that challenge us.
