I wonder, what do you guys think virtual reality do to the tourism industry ?

  Some people say this is "missing the point of traveling" but for certain experiences it's an amazing idea. Going to a quiet museum, exploring a cathedral, or attending an intimate live show could be a lot cheaper and accessible if you synched with a surrogate wearing high-quality cameras and microphones. You can still go in person for the real deal, but the remote version would be at least as good as most chill-out tv shows.

    And it would be the only way to attend a Rei Toei concert. Except she will be called Hatsune Miku.

  It can promote it and help to diferentiate a proposal, make you wish to be there wherever instead of with a flyer (leaflet).

  VR won't replace going there. But, it's a huge improvement over not going there. In practice, saying "Most people do not go to most places." is a bit of an understatement. Therefore, VR can be a huge improvement for most people.

    Completely agree. My grandma is afraid of driving & flying but she loves to watch travel TV shows. I think a VR headset with travel content would be great for people like her and would really improve her quality of life.
