Go Tours Canada Announces New Educational Virtual Reality Experiences

    TORONTO, ON, October 14, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Award-winning tour company Go Tours Canada is welcoming its clients in 360. The business is one of the first tour attractions on Earth to integrate VR technology as a tour delivery platform and offer clients the ability to watch an immersive tour demo before joining in person. This new way of connecting with clients will allow users to immerse themselves in Toronto before visiting and better plan their visit to the city.

Go Tours is well known as one of Canada's favourite tour companies and they plan to use the technology to provide virtual demos and full-scale experiences. "VR technology has been around for decades but now is the first time it truly has consumer market appeal via Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear and other platforms." Says Aaron Binder, Managing Partner at Go Tours. "We are already offering demo tours on our Youtube channel and plan to expand these options in the very near future with live-streamed events, educational experiences for schools and immersive tours for clients that may not be able to physically travel but desire to see the world."

The company plans to add these virtual products in Spring 2017 to complement their existing tour content. An environmentally friendly and surprisingly depthful experience, clients will be able to simply use their computers, cell phones or Google Cardboard headsets to join the experience when it launches on the Go Tours Youtube channel.

Go Tours Canada (formerly Segway of Ontario) is a 2013-16 Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence winner, is featured in over 200 media publications from across the globe, and won the prestigious "Tourism Champion of the Year" award from Attractions Ontario in 2014. The company currently operates in Toronto's Distillery District 7 days a week, almost 365 days a year and at Horseshoe Resort near Barrie between May-October.
