The tour showcases 17 spaces in
and around the facility, including
the exhibit hall, arena, ballroom,
meeting rooms, pre-function areas,
corridors/concourses, the Ocean
Center’s Auditorium Boulevard and
A1A entrances, and parking areas.
Arrow symbols connect images of
adjacent spaces and can be clicked
on to move the viewer from one area
to the next. The tour also can be
e-mailed to prospective clients or
downloaded by viewers.
“For years,
the real estate market has used
virtual tours as effective and
proactive sales tools that motivate
people to take the next step and
visit a property,” said George
Recktenwald, Ocean Center interim
director. “That’s exactly what we
want to do with the Ocean Center
virtual tour."
“When people
come here in person, they love it,”
added Recktenwald. “Now we can bring
them here virtually before they ever
step foot inside. Planners will be
able to see exactly how well their
event will fit in the Ocean Center
space. We anticipate the tour will
be a helpful sales tool.”
The online
service has many advantages. The
online virtual tour offers 24/7
accessibility, can be navigated
without installing software or
plug-ins, doesn’t cause long
download times for users, and offers
panoramic and scenic views of spaces
that static photos cannot.
