London has been the star attraction inEuropean tourism this year – hosting the2012 Olympic Games. Allaying manyfears the city would not be ready, theGames passed off without a hitch, withTeam GB collecting a record haul of goldmedals. Hotels reported a roaring tradethroughout the event, with attractionsacross the capital also welcoming soaringnumbers of visitors.

The story was repeated in Poland and theUkraine, which welcomed hundreds ofthousands of visitors to the UEFA EuropeanChampionships 2012. Eventually won bySpain, the event offered the two easternEuropean destinations a chance to showcasetheir tourism offering to a global televisionaudience reaching one billion people.

At sea, the cruise industry has beenenjoying nothing short of a boom of late.Figures from the European Cruise Councilreveal the total contribution of the globalcruise industry to the European economyrose to a record €36.7 billion in 2011, up54 over the past five years.

As the summer cruise season gets underway, 79 ships will be sailing back toEuropean waters from their winter routes inthe Caribbean, Latin America, Africa andAsia, bringing the total fleet in the regionthis summer to 206 cruise ships, operatedby 64 lines, serving 528 destinationsstretching from the Mediterranean to theArctic.

“The number of new destinations, new linesand new ships entering service in Europethis year are all further evidence of howcruising is growing and will continue togrow in the region, drawing on Europe’sunique offering in terms of its rich culture,its varied geography and its long maritime

SPORTS, TRAVEL AND TOURISM BRANDSCAN UTILIZE THE ADVANCEMENTS IN 3DTECHNOLOGY TO FURTHER ENHANCETHEIR BRANDS TO CONSUMERS.

Hotels, sporting associations, airlines and tourism boards can nowtruly showcase their offerings by inviting audiences to experiencefor themselves what it is actually like to be there. Through thepower of 3D, audiences can step outside of their current locationinto a new destination, sporting arena or hotel and encounterwhat the venue can offer to them.

3D reality goes beyond what photography and virtual tours havepreviously offered by creating a deeper sense of involvement forthe consumer, therefore making them much more likely to wantto live through the experience for themselves.

� Hotels can utilise 3D movies to invite their audience totake a tour through their grounds, seeing the decadence ofthe décor, the spacious rooms and intimate details thatmake the property unique.

� Airlines can create 3D TV advertisements to showcase theuse of space onboard where before they could only describeit.

� Tourism boards can invite audiences to experience thesights and sounds of their destination before planning avisit through the use of 3D internet.
