Online event to showcase world’s best destinations

At the beginning of 2014, a global online travel event, Wonders of the World, is planned to showcase the world’s best destinations.

The event will allow the tourism industry to participate by having tourism destinations reconstructed in an interactive three-dimensional format.

Consumers will be able to visit and interact with the attractions in 3D from their computers, laptops or tablets.

Interactive 3D scenes can then be embedded on travel industry websites, replacing the pictures usually used. Only two lines of code are needed to include the entire 3D location on the websites.

Terence Mak, ceo of 3rd Planet said, “The unique selling point of Wonders of the World is that it is a one-stop media mechanism for the entire travel and tourism industry. There is also the idea of interactivity and immersion - in which consumers’ interests can be piqued through their experience in exploring the destinations firsthand.

 “The earlier the countries join Wonders of the World, the more time we have in helping to create the best online interactive 3D experience for them.”
