Bowen Visitor Information Centre
This project belongs to: Whitsundays Cyclone Debbie Recovery Fund
The Bowen Visitor Information Centre is an early adopter of digital tourism using virtual reality to promote the Whitsunday region and allow visitors to ‘try before they buy’.
Project overview
With recovery funding support, they have created and installed a digital interpretive space. The content will focus on key visitor experiences across the Whitsundays.
This marketing tool:
- is visually enriching visitor enquiries at the centre
- has increased engagement and interaction with family groups
- is a valuable asset for agent roadshows and expos
