From Interactive 3D Tours to Virtual Clubbing

With the constantly-evolving world of virtual tours and interactive online tourism, who says you have to leave your home to go on vacation? Tech-savvy companies in the hospitality industry are making it simple for you to travel, no matter your budget.

Other sassy start-ups, however, promise to go one step further and deliver interactive glimpses into top nightclubs and even ambient street noise.

Will virtual vacations replace the real-life kind in this dismal economy? Have we missed a key online tourism venue? Scroll down to the Reactions section to weigh in.
