As people continued to stay at home, the numbers kept increasing.īut if visiting museums isn’t going to cut it if your heart wants to ride a rickshaw in Tokyo, wander through the crowded alleyways of Jerusalem’s old city, or check out the magnificent fountains in Singapore’s urban parks, now you can. Very early in the first lockdown, museums, theatres, national parks, and even zoos started hosting virtual tours that brought the exhibits into people’s living rooms through their high-speed internet connections.Īccording to Forbes, Google searches for the term virtual tour increased from 1,300 in February 2020 to almost 10,000 in March that year when the first lockdowns began. Since the coronavirus pandemic began, traveling has been difficult if not impossible to do. Not to mention that you get to see some of the world’s most beautiful art and architecture. It may also use other multimedia elements. You get to see new places, hear new languages, and taste local cuisine.
