How does it work?
We coordinate with you a suitable date/time to visit your hotel for a photoshoot.  We take a series of photos at a number of different locations (to cover the areas you want to include).  We then take all photos back to our studio and process them into a number of separate 360° Photos (panospheres) in a format that conforms with Expedia’s format standards.  We then coordinate with Expedia to publish the photos to your Expedia Listing.

(note: we can also probably use these photos to create a Google Virtual Tour and /or a Standalone Virtual Tour.
