Build desktop getaways of your region with the new ZoomTour

In an era where physical travel is restricted for the foreseeable future, there's no better time to engage people online with ZoomTour. Our new cloud-based desktop software makes it easy for anyone to create beautiful, compelling themed tours of top features in your region - no training needed!

With ZoomTour's virtual tours, you begin with a specific place on a map - that's your first stop. Now you get to build it up with information and imagery. You can add descriptive text, images, Google Street View, video, links to websites, audio files and even links to GIS data tools. From there, your tour departs to the next stop on the map, and the one after that. Add as many tours as you like, with as much content as you choose. Tours can be easily shared online as links - on your website, on social media, in email newsletters, proposals, email campaigns or as part of conference presentations, online meetings, and webinars.

ZoomTour makes it possible to easily build as many themed tours as you like and share them in different ways.
