360WorldGuide are producing
360° tours in many regions of the world as a part of several major global agreements with
international Hotel chains and Tourist & Convention Bureau organizations. 360° tours
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
360º tours on a professional 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 agreements 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 360º tours due to the fact that this is a
complicated issue.
360WorldGuide has developed a unique business model and global agreements taking care of
this problem. Our agreements are usually based on “all inclusive” prices
including all costs for production, project management and airfare.
The photographers and project managers are employed by 360WorldGuide and use in-house
developed standardized methodology to carry out their work. With one single agreement and
one single production partner everything is much easier. Our clients can focus on how the
360º tours 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. Our photographers are efficiently
utilized due to professional project management and several clients carrying the costs at
each location we travel to. Our clients pay only a fraction of the actual production costs
each. This is possible as we choose to enter agreements with clients and partners with
production needs in the same cities and regions of the world that we highlight at
360cityguide.com.
Extra Marketing Service
Clients having a active partnership with the local tourist & convention bureau in a
city can often get help from 360WorldGuide to help publish ordered 360º tours at their
website for enhanced marketing. This is made possible through a master agreement covering
over 100 official city tourist organizations. Most of these are organized in Europe via
European Cities Tourism (www.europeancitiestourism.com)
but the same terms and conditions will apply to all major tourist & convention
organizations worldwide. If this is interesting for your organization please send relevant
contact information to us at info@360worldguide.com
and we will help activate their agreement.
You can download and send the ECT
agreement, PDF, to the manager at your city tourist & convention
organization and we will help them activate their agreement. This agreement involves no
costs for them but they will agree to become an active partner in order to benefit from
the new, exciting virtual tour content at their website and the standardized “look
& feel” this will convey. If they want to they can order any of our standard
products such as 360MAP, 360Sights, 360PostCard or our webhosting service, but this is
only optional. Their part of the agreement is to create awareness and help collect orders
for cost efficient production.
Invite a local partner
Some of our clients have a close branding or marketing relationship with local partners in
their neighborhood. They can invite these partners to use their agreement. The terms and
conditions are identical and very beneficial. The prices are “all inclusive”,
usually including airfare.
Making your partners visual with 360º tours on your website is good bonding. Our 360MAP
is a standardized platform based on our illustrated interactive maps loaded with our
virtual tours that you and your partners can use on each others website. A major chain
agreement with a minimum of 300 venues can get a 50% reduction on our standard annual fee
for 360MAP. This reduction is also available to your partner if they order a “360º
tour pack”. They select the content, such as sights, museums, hotels etc on their
edition of 360MAP and it will be branded with their name and logo. 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.
