The tourism sector may have been trashed by Covid-19 but it's inspiring to see how countries are using the downtime to inspire bookings for the future.
As travellers across the world practice staying at home and social distancing, Monaco, for example, has launched an upgraded virtual tour of the entire principality that will keep them engaged.
"With so much to explore, now is the best time to immerse yourselves in a virtual tour of the renowned city and start planning your future trip," a tourism spokesman said. "The Visit Monaco team has worked painstakingly to develop a virtual travel experience called Monaco 360, which allows a 360° virtual visit to the principality."
The tour allows viewers to get a panoramic view of Monaco’s stunning French Riviera coastline and skyline while zooming in to see the city’s main destinations in spectacular detail. From the glistening yacht-lined shores of the Port Hercule to the soothing tree-lined walkways of the Jardin of Saint-Martin, and the storied marine-inspired hallways of Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, viewers can take a deep dive into Monaco’s greatest attractions and learn about the principality’s rich history and culture.
The virtual tour also includes some of Monaco’s well-known hotels like the iconic Hotel de Paris and the five-star Metropole Monte-Carlo. Viewers can get a first-hand look at their exquisite architecture and décor and experience their sophisticated rooms which have set the standard for hotels across the world.
