Upgrading the Booking Journey: How 3D Tours Help OTAs Convert, Retain, and Lead
How 3D Tours Help OTAs Convert, Retain, and Lead
Today’s travelers have more choices than ever—and more doubts. That means Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) must do more than aggregate listings. They need to inspire trust, excitement, and clarity in the booking process."When travelers can see it, trust it, and picture themselves in it—they book it. That’s the power of a 3D preview.."
Static photos? Everyone has them. Basic room descriptions? Already skimmed. But with Matterport-enhanced 3D tours, OTAs now have the power to transform scroll-stopping content into high-converting experiences.
At 360INT, we help OTAs and their partners embed fully immersive previews into listings—unlocking more bookings, fewer cancellations, and higher guest satisfaction.
