Advantages to using MapsAlive for Travel & Tourism
MapsAlive is perfect for creating online tours for any kind of trip or adventure. Here are some of the benefits for travel & tourism. You can also learn about general benefits or see travel & tourism samples.
1. Give viewers the sense of being there
MapsAlive uses interactive maps that connect geographical locations to actual photos and descriptions of tour destinations. The maps show each destination in context, giving viewers a real sense of place and perspective. It's truly the next best thing to being there.

2. Easily explore related web sites
MapsAlive also has a drill down feature that lets viewers open other web pages by clicking on the map. They can get in-depth detail about the museums, hotels and other attractions that are part of the tour.

3. Show an entire trip on one web page!
MapsAlive's unique ability to show dozens or even hundreds of photos on the same page means that people taking your tour are not clicking and then pressing the back button over and over to see your content. It's a much more pleasant web experience for the viewer.

Let your friends and family really know where you’ve been
A tour lets you share photos in a completely new way. They can discover where you’ve been with as many maps, pictures and descriptions as you like. The maps show everything in context.
