Hot 25 Startups 2019: Ascape

A string of high-profile brands, including Thomas Cook, Lonely Planet, Amadeus and JetBlue, have looked at the Ascape concept of high-quality, VR-based previews of destinations and products.

Videos perform well in marketing, and travel lends itself perfectly to VR, so building a solid business and product ahead of inevitable, mass consumer take-up is a smart move.

Goals for 2019

Ascape is currently working on the stock platform for VR travel content where brands will be able to license thousands of content pieces in several clicks. The VR stock platform will make a licensing process transparent, fast and easy for both travel brands and content suppliers.
