As unprecedented times call on travel, the industry has been facing its hardest of days with millions losing their only sources of income. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the travel industry has been supporting more than 100 million people directly. The industry also plays a major part in the global economy contributing to nearly 10% of the global GDP. While most industries seem to be slowly figuring out a way to resume, leisure travel might take longer to recover.
Trift is to launch its beta version of the ‘virtual experiences’ on the 25th of May, 2020. With an initial launch focusing on more than 15+ free experiences and select exclusively designed experiences available at trift.io/virtual-experiences. The virtual experiences will allow users to go through a cinematic travel journey while learning more about the destinations.
"We may not be able to travel as much right now but thanks to technology we can get creative and enjoy virtual travel experiences," said Steve Yalo, a filmmaker traveler based in New York.
With further phases of updates coming through June and July, Trift is working on providing unique live tours, walks, and interactive experiences. These would open gateways to supporting local tour guides in underdeveloped and developing countries and providing a direct impact on these areas. Trift’s mission has always been to be the platform that supports local travel businesses around the world. While in several countries around the world, stimulus cheques have been supporting businesses running out of money, the developing and underdeveloped world does not have the liberty of it.
