Our Chain Contracts
360WorldGuide are producing 360-images, virtual tours, in many regions of the world as a part of several major global contracts with international Hotel chains, such as Hilton with over 6 000 tours produced by us, and Tourist & Convention Bureau organizations. 360-images are also being produced for use at 360CityGuide.com, a website owned and operated by 360WorldGuide, highlighting exciting cities and partners in the world.
A hotel chain or any other chains such as convention venues, boutiques, restaurants etc with facilities in many cities in the world encounter huge problems when planning to add 360-images on a central website. A standardized "look & feel" is often required and this involves a lot of complex project management. Finding local photographers at hundreds locations, with individual contracts regulating fees, production deadlines, image quality, type of tour image technology and legal rights is usually not an option. Many organizations choose to hold back or delay requests from within the organization to produce and publish 360-images due to the fact that this is a complicated issue.
360WorldGuide has developed a unique business model and production methodology taking care of this problem. Our contracts are usually based on "all inclusive" prices including all costs for the production and project management.
The photographers and project managers are employed by 360WorldGuide. With one single contract and one single production partner everything is much easier. Our clients can focus on how the 360-imag content will be published to attract more business for them and we focus on cost efficient production.
Our prices are kept low due to high critical mass and our photographers are efficiently utilized due to professional project management.
Extra Marketing Service
Clients having an active partnership with the local tourist & convention bureau in a city can often get help from 360WorldGuide to help publish ordered 360-images at the official city website for enhanced marketing. This is made possible through a master contract covering over 100 official city tourist organizations. Most of these are organized in Europe via European Cities Tourism (www.europeancitiestourism.com) but similar terms and conditions will apply to all major tourist & convention organizations worldwide.
Invite a local partner
Some of our clients have a close branding or marketing relationship with local partners in their neighbourhood. They can invite these partners to use the same contract if produced at the same time.
Highlighting your partners with 360-images on your website is good bonding. Our 360Map application is a standardized platform based on interactive maps loaded with our 360-images that you and your partners can use on each others website. They select the content, such as sights, museums or hotels on their edition of 360Map and it will be branded with their name and logo, or you can use the identical link and split the cost for the annual fee between you. If you, or they, would like to invite sponsors to pay the annual fee we can add sponsor logos and links to their individual websites for a small administrative fee.
