The need for virtual tours and roll-over floor plans is there because vacationers want to see where they will be staying. It's as simple as that.

Further, internet savy vacationers who are growing in dramatic numbers just won't rent properties if they can't see what they're spending their hard-earned dollar on.

Consider the following Yahoo article - vacation renters told their story that is becoming a common complaint after reserving a vacation property -

     "'When we went to check it out in the offseason - a luxury that most vacation renters don't have since their destinations often are far away from home — it was nothing like we expected it to be...there were other problems as well: The house was right off a main road, the bedrooms were tiny and the decor was dingy at best. I've smartened up since that initial home-renting foray'.
      And thanks to the growing use of the Internet in the home rental business, so can most vacationers. The power of the Web is increasing the pressure on homeowners and retail agents to detail what they offer through pictures, and that, in turn, gives potential renters a good look at what they could be getting.
     In Lake Tahoe, Nev., Boyd Golden of Goldfish Properties added a virtual tour to his site a year ago, which now lets renters really see a 360-degree view of his roster of rental homes. Potential renters can see what view from the deck looks like or if the kitchen is laid out to their liking.
     'We know that you can't hide things. We want people to know exactly what they are getting, and let them choose if they like it or not,' Golden said." - Full Article

As one owner stated on MSN.com:

"I spent well over 2 hours this weekend looking for a vacation rental, home or condo on the east coast — and I was utterly disappointed with my online experience. All I want is a nice home or condo on the beach that I was confident would be a great place for 2 couples, the pictures were horrible and there were no virtual tours. I simply will not pay good money for a place I can't see until I get there - period! I haven’t given up - I hope to eventually book a vacation rental this week."

It is becoming very common for vacation renters searching on the internet to move quickly on to other properties if they don't see still images and virtual tours.
