VRteam, an industry leader in producing 360-degree virtual tours, photo slide shows, and digital still photos for the lodging industry, has recently added rich media distribution to its product list. This new service allows a hotel to distribute their virtual tours and rich media to over 30,000 travel websites, including popular travel booking websites, travel agencies, travel research websites, search engines, travel portals, corporate booking engines, meeting planner websites, and global distribution systems. This new service offering maximizes the online exposure of a property, giving potential lodging guests around the world an inside look at where they will stay before they actually book reservations. Hotel sales & marketing managers know how important it is to get this media in front of people when they are actually making their travel plans. According to a recent study, consumers who view rich media on a property's website are 67% more likely to book than similar consumers who did not view the rich media. Rich media distribution accomplishes alot, as it is a powerful tool with broad reach, allows for centralized management of digital assets across multiple online channels, and keeps all of the visual content consistent across all of 3rd party websites.
