360° virtual tours provide an immersive and interactive medium for hotels, resorts, homestays, and travel industry players to showcase their spaces. These allow potential customers to explore the common areas, rooms, and facilities through a ‘see-it-for-yourself’ approach, which help encourage bookings. Hotel listings that incorporate a virtual tour have also been found to receive 87% more views compared to those without one.
Actsugi is a 360° virtual tour services provider specialising in 360° photography, videography, and virtual tour development. Our vast experience in the hospitality industry has led us to work with international and local hotel brands to craft their virtual tours.
Professional hotel photography involves delivering visually stunning imagery that highlight the areas within the hotel, while adhering to brand standards. A seamless and cohesive look across the hotel photography can elevate the guest experience and give them a glimpse of what it is like to stay there.
Virtual staging is an important step to ensure that we capture the best of the hotel. We work with your team to ensure the presentation is well-composed, with beautiful visual layers that tell your story and highlight your unique selling points.
While most hotel photography would show clean spaces with few people, it can be beneficial to have talents or hotel staff in some areas. This simple lifestyle touch can turn your lobby, restaurant buffet area, bar or spa into a welcoming scene. We would coordinate with your team to find the best angle and mood to bring out the unique feature of the hotel.
Hospitality-level post production techniques allow us to craft visually appealing photography with high colour accuracy and clarity. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces would be sharp with minimal overexposure. We also ensure that even in low-light conditions, the natural beauty and the fine details are not compromised.
The tripod would also be removed from the ceiling and ground for a smoother experience. Unlike scanning technology that has limited image enhancement capabilities, our DSLR photography meets the demands of our hotel clients.
Aerial photography provides a breathtaking overview of the hotel property. It can also highlight the location and the neighbourhood in a more dynamic way. When guests book a hotel, they would want to know its connectivity and proximity to nearby attractions and amenities. 360° virtual tours are a great way to show this in a visually interesting format.
We take care to identify and indicate the key attractions in your hotel’s neighbourhood, so that potential guests can visualise the property in its entirety. We can also list out the distance from the hotel for a better point of reference.
When it comes to MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) spaces, 360° virtual tours are a fantastic way to help corporate clients and event planners visualise the hotel, which in turn facilitates faster decision-making.
Our hotel clients have shared that having their virtual tour has significantly reduced the cost of travelling for physical recces and getting their team to set up the space repeatedly. We can also support your team at offsite travel exhibitions by enabling our offline version or passing you offline files that work well without internet connection.
During the shooting, we would discuss with the client on the event set-up of the ballroom, meeting rooms, function halls and networking areas. We pay close attention to detail to ensure a balance in light, furniture placement and symmetry.
Your 360° virtual tour brings the photography, media elements, and brand story together in an interactive experience. Our developers and designers craft user-friendly and intuitive layouts that are optimised for viewing on websites, tablets, mobile devices, and VR headsets.
Unlike traditional photography, our 360° virtual tours come with custom hotspots that help people navigate around the virtual space and display relevant information. This gives potential guests a deeper understanding of your hotel amenities and values. If you have any brochures, photos, videos, floor plans, or even brand-approved music, we can incorporate them in the virtual tour in a way that makes the experience highly engaging.
We offer a versatile range of storytelling features to enhance the user experience. One of our popular features is the timelapse, which is when an image shifts between day and night to show potential guests the hotel ambience at different times.
At the end of the day, you can see your virtual tour as a curation of all your brand assets, strategically presented to a global audience.
Prior to the shooting, we offer 1-on-1 consultation services to advise client on how to highlight the best features of each space. If your hotel does not have a specific brand guideline, our team can work with you to develop a brand identity for your 360° virtual tour.
Upon request, we can arrange a free site recce and demo shooting for a select few areas. Our team would also provide insights how hotels can leverage on virtual tours to complement their online and offline marketing strategies.
