WHAT IS A 3D VIRTUAL HOME TOUR?

BENEFITS OF 3D VIRTUAL TOURS FOR VACATION RENTALS.
INCREASED CONFIDENCE. AND BOOKINGS.
It’s no secret that properties with 3D tours get more attention—and more bookings. Virtual tours provide an engaging experience that captivates viewers, helping your listing stand out in a crowded market.
In fact, vacation rentals with 3D tours can see a significant boost in conversions, as guests feel more confident in what they’re getting.
FEWER QUESTIONS, LESS UNCERTAINTY.
One of the biggest challenges for homeowners is fielding questions about their property’s layout or amenities. With a 3D tour, guests can visualize every inch of the space. They know exactly what they’re getting, which reduces the back-and-forth and leads to more informed, satisfied bookings.
TIME-SAVING FOR EVERYONE.
No one has time for endless showings or inquiries that could’ve been answered with a quick look around. A 3D tour lets guests explore your home anytime, from anywhere. This not only saves homeowners time but also allows potential guests to get an accurate understanding of the space before they even step foot in it.
- Studies show that listings with 3D tours keep visitors on the page 5 to 10 times longer, which increases the likelihood of securing a booking.
ATTRACTING INTERNATIONAL GUESTS.
One of the great benefits of 3D virtual tours is their global reach. Guests from all over the world can explore your property as if they were there, opening your rental to a much wider audience. And with travel restrictions easing, there’s no better time to tap into the international market.
