National Virtual Vacation Day is celebrated every year on March 30, which serves as a reminder that going on a vacation has evolved through the years. Tech now allows us to take a much-needed break from the confines of our homes.
National Virtual Vacation Day and Virtual Tours
Tech has rapidly transformed all sorts of things--from how we communicate with our loved ones and friends to how we kill our time to have some much-needed break from this fast-paced world.
On top of that, tech has also made taking a much-needed vacation more accessible than ever-sans the need for tedious planning and a holiday to spend time going to far-flung destinations.
This time around, taking a vacation could be conveniently done while you are simply sitting from the comforts of your sofa or lying down on your bed.
It comes as technology has allowed us to virtually visit various parts of the world without spending hours traveling.
Virtual vacations allow us to go to our dream destinations right away, without having to wait for our retirement or when money comes our way. It is to note that it is not only accessible from our homes, but it is also dramatically cheaper than going out there.
That said, as per an online story by National Today, Terrence Talks Travel established the National Virtual Vacation Day way back in 2016 to further promote the world of virtual vacations to tons of folks out there.
On top of that, it turns out that the term is known today as "virtual tour" started to become a thing long ago in 1994. So, virtual vacations have been here for quite some time already.
In fact, ten years after that, or in 2004 to be more exact, the world of virtual tourism has massively increased to a whopping 5 million people watching these tours every day.
National Virtual Vacation Day on March 30: What is it
According to the website of Terrence Talks Travel, the National Day Calendar has officially recognized March 30 as the National Virtual Vacation Day last 2018, but it has been celebrated since 2016.
Terrence Talks Travel established the special day for virtual vacations to specifically nudge us to have fun and take on our dream vacation-albeit virtually.
National Virtual Vacation Day: How to Celebrate
The rapidly innovating world of tech has made virtual tours possible on various platforms. Some could experience a virtual tour without spending thousands of dollars as it is possible on desktops, laptops, or even phones and tablets.
However, it is best to spend some dime on a virtual reality headset to take on that dream destination of yours virtually with a more immersive experience.
