💡 What It Is
A service that helps Airbnb hosts, realtors, and vacation rental owners showcase their properties through interactive 360° virtual tours. You capture each room with a 360° camera (or your phone using stitching apps) and create immersive online walkthroughs.
This makes listings more professional and instantly stand out — increasing bookings and guest confidence.
⚙️ Why It Works
✅ Airbnb hosts want to differentiate their listings✅ 360° tours boost trust and bookings by 20–30%✅ Few people offer it locally, and most hosts don’t have time or gear✅ High perceived value — you can bundle it with photography or branding
💵 Startup Cost Range
💰 $500 – $2,000Includes a 360° camera (like Insta360 or Ricoh Theta), tripod, software, and optional hosting plan for virtual tours.
