The Brief – Virtual Tour and Google Maps Tour
Rydges Resort Hunter Valley marketing team contacted us with a vision to create a virtual tour with a specific sales and marketing focus. They wanted two virtual tours, each with their own specific focus. The virtual tour needed the ability for people to walk through the entire resort but, with the click of a button, jump to various sections with ease. This is so users can explore at their own space but also get the information they require as quick and easy as possible at the right time. This all had to be designed to their branding/style guides also to give the look, feel and experience of the Rydges Resort Brand.
The first 360 virtual tour is designed for the general public. This our is to showcase all the features and facilities that a person on holiday would want to find about such as accommodation, children facilities, restaurants, recreational activities and more.
The second tour is designed for their sales team to showcase the resort, accommodation and other areas of interest for corporate events. This tour also focuses on showcasing their accommodation restaurants amongst other facilities. However, it is designed to showcase their events and conference centre and discuss specifics with clients with the use of Live Guided Tours. This allows their team to speak to potential clients directly in the tour itself, like they are taking a walk through inspection together.
Lastly, to make the tours have that wow factor, they also wanted 360 aerial drone photography (coming soon) to help showcase the resort and show just how expansive it is.
What We Loved About This Project
This virtual tour is the most comprehensive and detailed we have ever created and is also classified as one of our mega tours. What made this virtual tour comprehensive is that Rydges Resort Hunter Valley has multiple features and facilities that had to be integrated and make sense to the end-user. Shot over four days in coordination with the marketing team we saw all their facilities, restaurants, accommodation and more.
Fun Fact: It took almost five months to get that amazing 360 aerial photo. Every time we were scheduled to take the drone photo the weather would become either severely overcast or rainy. The team actually finished every other aspect of the virtual tour before the 360 aerial photograph was taken. We are really happy with the end result and glad that we were patient.
