360 Video - Free SCT Partner Benefit

We are excited to share that Sonoma County Tourism has partnered with Threshold 360 to create a 360° interactive video of your property for your listing on SonomaCounty.com at no cost to you.

Virtual Tours are a proven and effective way to generate interest and leads for your property, especially while many are still unable to travel and can't make an in-person site visit. That's why we've partnered with Threshold 360 to capture a no-cost virtual tour of your location to be used on SonomaCounty.com, on Google Maps, and in your proposals to meeting and event planners.

The process is simple:

  • Click the button below and select the best day & time to capture your location.
  • With a tripod and a 360° camera, our Creator will capture 360° photos of your venue for virtual tour creation.
  • You may include any meeting rooms and guest room types in this capture session. No major staging is required, but you’re welcome to stage your hotel as you see fit. Your customers and staff can be present and you can conduct business as usual.
  • Once captured, the virtual tour will be placed on your listing page on our website  and uploaded to Google to be viewed via Google Maps and Search.
