Hotels partner with Virtual Tour App (VTA) to produce virtual tours that take guest beyond Google Business Photos. 

Austin Texas based Virtual Tour App (VTA) is competing with tech giant Google Inc with virtual tours that take users beyond Google Street View and Google Business Photos. Several Texas landmark hotels already have advanced HD/HDR 360x360 interactive virtual tours integrated into their websites. High end corporate hotels like Hilton and boutique hotels have both decided to go with Virtual Tour App rather than Google Business Photos. The key advantages Virtual Tour App offers that Google Business Photos does not are:

1) HD/HDR 360X360 degree view with multiple navigation options

2) VTA tours are dynamic cloud hosted tours that can be updated and edited over time. Google Business Photo tours are static and can not be updated by the client.

3) Virtual Tour App features embedded multimedia such as videos, photos, pop up info, reservations, e-commerce, music, etc.

These enhancements create hotel virtual tours that are more interactive and informative than Google Business Photos or Google Street View.

Former "Think Tank" IC2 (Institute for Creativity & Capital) Global Programs manger, Mark Gipson, founded the Austin start-up, Virtual Tour App one year ago 12/12/12 and is now taking on tech giant Google in the hotel virtual-tour market worldwide. VTA has already produced HD/HDR 360x360 interactive virtual tours for Austin landmark hotels and is now expanding its reach domestically and internationally.

Virtual Tour App (VTA) is using the latest software, production equipment, advanced photography techniques and embedded multimedia to create state of the art virtual tour applications for hotels that are rapidly defining the future of this new industry. Specifically tailored as sales, marketing and branding tools, VTA’s hotel virtual tour technology fulfills a rapidly expanding niche market with high quality HD/HDR photography that can be experienced in every tour they produce. Virtual Tour App has already produced high definition interactive virtual tours for Austin landmarks hotels: Hilton Austin Airport, UT AT&T Executive Education & Conference Center and is currently working with Hyatt Lost Pines Resort. Virtual Tour App has also produced tours for COTA Circuit of The Americas F1 race track, Barton Springs Pool for the City of Austin and the Austin International Airport.

Virtual Tour App (VTA) is headquartered in Austin, Texas and is currently expanding into key US domestic and international markets. "We appreciate Google's efforts to legitimize the industry we specialize in but Virtual Tour App hotel tours takes users beyond Google street view," said VTA’s founder & CEO Mark Gipson. The tours work on across all platforms and mobile devices and don't require any software or downloads to view. Users access VTA tours featured on the clients website and can experience the tours on mac, PC, desktops, laptops, tablets and smart phones.
