VR is here. It’s powerful. It’s shaping the future.
Let’s get you on board.
Virtual Reality 4 Tourism (VR4T) is an Erasmus+ project aimed at helping tourism professionals and learners discover the practical potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in their work. Whether you’re a tour guide, travel agent, educator, or simply curious about new tech in tourism, VR4T offers a hands-on, accessible way to get started with immersive learning.
What’s Been Happening?
First steps: The VR4T kick-off webinar
We officially launched the project on June 3rd with a live kick-off webinar. This session brought together over 100 participants eager to explore how VR can transform tourism training. We introduced the VR4T consortium, shared our project objectives, and offered a first look at the structure of our upcoming e-learning platform.
After the main presentations, the audience engaged directly with the partners through a Q&A and open discussion, setting the tone for a collaborative and forward-thinking project. This webinar marked the official start of VR4T — and the beginning of our journey into immersive education.
On the ground in Sofia: First international training
Next stop: Sofia, Bulgaria. From July 8–10, we hosted the first in-person international training, bringing together 20 participants from across Europe — including VET trainers, travel agencies, and tourism professionals.
This training was the first pilot test of the VR4T course, combining hands-on exploration with peer learning, feedback, and real-time testing of our methodology.
