Dear Author,
1. Could you more detail why is it high cost? since today many social media
platform available worldwide
2. What is the difference with other platforms such as a documentary film or the
recent trend is endorsing by influencer? which is the more effective?
Thank you
Replies:
thank you for the question given, hopefully it can become our research institute in
the future.
Our platform uses zoom in conducting virtual meetings and replacing the quota
allocation spent by respondents participating in the virtual class.
While for the other group we gave counseling videos through the whats up group
and discussed in the group after the video was shown.
In this study, it was found that the delta mean of knowledge was higher and
satisfaction was higher for clients who used virtual classes
Thank you for the question given.
1. Virtual tour is high cost in preparing a complete and good quality virtual tour. Many
good quality videos are needed regarding geosites, environmental conditions
(biodiversity, ecosystems), as well as cost to improve the local interpreter^s quality
through trainings ( English language training, traning on geosite and its geological
history, training on biodiversity, and tour guide sertification), training of local
communities in geoproduct manufacturing and online marketing
2. It can not be comparable, because Geopark has the tagline ^Glorify the Earth^s
heritage, prosper the community^. So whatever activities carried out must
involve/empower the community around the geopark. Local people must become
actors, not just spectators, so that they are expected to improve the welfare of the
local community.
it^s interesting topic that how we cope the pandemic in tourism sector using virtual
tour. however, do we need technologies to help this programme out? such as
virtual displays or private projector?
Thank you for your question.
Currently, the videos owned by Tambora Geopark are not 3D quality, so no special
equipment is needed to access them. But if the Tambora Geopark already has videos
with 3D quality, then to get the best results you can watch it using 3D glasses/VR Box.
