Web 2.0 technology enables video streaming of hotels and resort interiors for vacation planning. Luxury Travel investigates three sites that may help luxury travel plans.

Vacation travel planning has changed dramatically with the advent of Web 2.0 technology on the web. This technology allows for interactive travel review websites, more details about prospective destinations and their hotels, and links to vacation activities and dining suggestions. Travel blogs are viewed by half of all people who read blogs (PhoCusWright, 2007), and live camera feeds and video shots from destinations around the world are viewed by more and more travel planners.

Now, hotels post photos and short videos of their interiors on websites - however, these serve as ads, not as objective views. It's no surprise, then, that a few video enhanced websites have been developed to assist luxury travel planners decide where to stay for vacations.

Luxury Travel Vacation Planning with Webcams and Video:

These are three online options for luxury travel vacation planning. From a sample exploration of both TVtrip and Trivop, the video streaming on the former seems to be standardized at a more professional level, with higher quality videos. Trivop was the first hotel video guide website, however, and both are still relatively new. Perhaps, given time and a learning curve, Trivop will become as easy to use (and add the same cutting-edge technology) as its competitor.
