Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive and engaging technology that will open up new ways for destinations to engage with travellers. Especially as youth who are just starting out in our careers, we want to be at the forefront of these exciting trends.
Dive into the world of VR with expert guest speakers from Hong Kong Tourism Board and Teleport. Find out how it will impact the tourism industry, including the behind-the-scenes decision-making process and the opportunities that can open up in the near future.
