SUNTEC Singapore is now inviting guests on a virtual tour of the convention centre, before they even travel to the venue, through Google Maps’ Street View.
Marc Bakker, assistant director of marketing & communications, Suntec Singapore, said: “It is possible to walk our halls from the comfort of your screen. This is an important benefit for decision makers outside Singapore, who can now have a comprehensive view of the new venue prior to coming for a full site inspection or during their shortlisting process.”
Users will be able to see 360º indoor panoramic shots of the centre’s indoor facilities, such as the entrance driveway, the 36 meeting rooms on Level 3, the concourse area, and the halls on Level 4 and Level 6.
Expecting this to set Suntec Singapore apart from its rivals, Bakker said: “In this industry, we are always competing at a global level for the most prestigious events, anything we can do to help interested parties visualise our centre helps in the decision-making process.
“By providing a virtual walk-through with panoramic high-resolution imagery, people can get a much better feel for what kind of venue we are without having to take the trouble and expense to come on site,” he added.
Google Maps Street View is a “simple and convenient” way to experience the convention centre, said Bakker.
He added that Suntec Singapore’s next step is to create an online environment for clients to similarly visualise the convention centre’s event space personalisted specifically on their own event requirements.
