Many travel bloggers love VibeAgent. as The Washington Post who featured VibeAgent "as a hip new hotel review site that was taking TripAdvisor to the next level" ;-)

They now offers 360° virtual tours for over 4,000 popular hotels.

According to PhoCusWright, the leading online travel research firm, 81 percent of online travelers indicate that videos and photos most influence their travel purchases. VibeAgent already boasts both hotel and user-submitted photos for most of its 120,000 hotels worldwide – now travelers can further enhance their decision-making process by viewing the new "Video" tab on each hotel's detail page.

With the rapid adoption of broadband in recent years, enhanced media content has become increasingly important to consumer merchandising. VibeAgent has partnered with the industry leaders in the production management, and distribution of rich media content (IcePortal), , ensuring a high-quality virtual shopping experience on VibeAgent.com.

"VibeAgent's goal is to provide travelers with all the tools necessary to make better hotel decisions – price comparison across nearly 30 web sites, and user-generated reviews written by people you trust. The addition of virtual tours gives users yet another tool to feel confident in booking their hotel on our platform," said Dennis Ortiz, VibeAgent's Vice President of Marketing.
