Entry Summary: 

WORLD’S FIRST VIRTUAL REMOTE-CONTROLLED TOURISM EXPERIENCE

The corona virus put a devastating stop to tourism. To save the Faroese tourism industry and maintain public interest, we invented the world’s first virtual remote-controlled tourism experience enabling travelers to visit the Faroe Islands from home.
In six weeks 700,000 ‘visited’ the Faroe Islands. Two weeks after the reopening, all hotels were sold out. When no one could travel the Faroe Islands had more visitors than ever.
