Whether it is in the 700 sqm Sahid ballroom, the lush North Courtyard or at Bene Rooftop overlooking the magical sunset of Kuta Beach; a dream wedding at the Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is easy to visualize and manifest.
ÒIf a picture tells a thousand words, then virtual reality tells a whole book,” said Dario Orsini,ÊGeneral Manager of Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort.Ê”A virtual tour gives more value by offering guests the transparency on the resort features. VR enhances the customer’s experience, moving from the traditional 2D images of Ôlook before you book’, to fully immersive experiences. The viewers are temporarily transported to Ôreal’ moments at the resort. Guests are the center of the story in this case, to provide them the experience to interact with the resort, before even stepping foot there. It has the power to engage and touch human emotions and it is definitely changing how people make travel decisions. We are proud to be among the first few hotels in Indonesia to embark on this technology and to revolutionize the hospitality industry.Ó
