The days of looking at pictures in brochures and deciding where to go on your next holiday are long gone. Nowadays, travellers can get a real feel for destinations through live streaming.
The immersive technology can take viewers to faraway lands and let them imagine what it would be like to visit these places in person. It can help people make better decisions about their next holiday and means there’s a lower risk of disappointment when visiting somewhere.
Live Roulette Games Now Have Travel Settings
The live streaming craze arguably wouldn’t exist without online casinos, which was one of the first sectors to put the technology to good use. It was initially used to expand the roulette online at Betfair, adding to the virtual versions of the classic table game by offering live options with real world dealers. This way of playing proved to be so popular that developers began to expand their offerings and create twists on the classic format. Most of these titles occur in casino-inspired studios, but some now feature more exotic settings.
Age of the Gods Roulette is one of the games that is now taking players away to distant lands when they bet on the spinning wheel. The title is an addition to the popular slots franchise, which is inspired by ancient Greek mythology. The live game immerses players in a Greek-inspired setting, with famous architecture and items from the europeon country. Players can get a taste of being in Greece while playing the game, and this may inspire them to book holidays to the popular destination.
Travel Bloggers are Gaining More Influence
In the days before the internet, travellers had to rely on books like Lonely Planet to help guide their decisions about travel destinations. Now, though, live streaming takes this one step further and gives people a true sense of what a place is like before they venture there. There has been a rise in travel bloggers in the last few years, and these people are finding great success on YouTube.
One of the best in the business is Dan Flying Solo. The blogger works with some of the top travel companies on the planet, so he knows what he’s talking about. His content comes with tons of tips and hidden gems. Lili’s Travel Plans is another good channel, and Lili has been praised for her no-nonsense way of describing her travel experiences.
Some Hotels Now Offer Live Streams
There’s nothing worse than getting to a hotel and finding that it looks nothing like the way it was shown on its website. Some of the top locations on the planet are now using live streaming to show potential guests their grounds in real-time, so they know exactly what they are going to get when they visit.
According to an article on Holidify, various hotels including the Malibu Beach Inn, the Hotel del Coronado, and the Bahia Resort Hotel are all using live streaming to promote their views to customers.
For anyone thinking of booking a holiday, it’s well worth checking out some live streams first to see if it’s what you imagine it to be. This can also be an excellent way to get excited about an upcoming trip.
