VisitAberdeenshire launches virtual experiences hub to sample the region from the comfort of home
5 May 2020
VisitAberdeenshire has collated top interactive tours, experiences and classes in a bid to enthuse armchair adventurers to explore the North-east of Scotland from the comfort of home.
The ‘Aberdeenshire will wait’ section of the VisitAberdeenshire website is a culmination of the best virtual experiences from businesses in the city and shire area. Included in the online programme of activity are virtual art collections, cookery lessons, castle tours and stunning flyover videos of the region’s best golf courses.
Chris Foy, CEO, VisitAberdeenshire said: “We’re encouraging potential visitors to take a closer look at the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire region from afar. Our interactive site pulls together virtual experiences from around the region, appealing to people’s curiosity and to find out more for themselves.
“While we cannot explore Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire in person at the moment, we’re leaving a light on for visitors in the hope they consider the North-east when its safe to travel here.
“Guest blogs from local experts, social media influencers and recommendations from the VisitAberdeenshire team provides an up to date snapshot of fun and engaging activities to take part in during lockdown.
VisitAberdeenshire is also appealing to locals to rediscover the very best of the region, but only when the time is right.
Mr Foy continued: “‘Aberdeenshire Will Wait’ is also a reminder to the local community of what is so inherently brilliant about this area, our wild coastlines, incredible scenery and rich heritage. As we move closer towards a post-lockdown way of living, I can’t stress how important the local people will be to the recovery of the North-east, their enthusiasm for all that is great about Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire will be key as the tourism and hospitality sector makes cautious steps out of lockdown.”
