How to Explore the World During the Pandemic

Even though nothing beats seeing some of the best attractions in person, the pandemic has forced people to change the way they do things. With the strict traveling guidelines and new strains of the virus, international trips were forced to be canceled or postponed until it is safe to travel again.

We are hopeful that borders will be opened soon and everyone will be able to travel again. However, for now, we can still enjoy exploration in our homes, thanks to virtual reality. 

As tour agents and operators, this is also a great opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with places around the world and get inspiration for the next tour you plan! Some agencies are also organizing virtual trips for their customers to visit these places. So let’s look at what resources are available online for you and your clients.
