Abstract

As we enter into the 23rd month of the global pandemic, in some parts of the world, life has largely returned to normal, but there are still major restrictions and roadblocks with traveling. There are people who are still fearful of flying and even for others who are not, they have to invest a lot more time and money with the mandatory quarantining. As a result, people are not able to travel for leisure. Our mission is to provide our customers with a platform where they can be connected with professional tour guides around the world to provide them an immersive traveling experience without ever leaving the comfort of their home. Even before the pandemic, traveling could be very costly and time consuming, even stressful if traveling with younger kids.

Our solution, V Tour, is a platform which allows local tour guides to be connected with virtual tourists who wish to enjoy tourism from the luxury of their homes. V Tour is like the Uber of virtual tours. Our platform will be the marketplace for tour guides to list their tours so our virtual travelers can book for their private virtual traveling. Customers will be equipped with their own or Rental virtual reality gear to be used on their private tours so they can get an immersive experience as if they are touring in person.
