A collection of Sydney tourism operators including Sea Life Aquarium, Dreamtime Southern X and Sydney Harbour Boat Tours star in a new interactive destination guide, co-funded by the City of Sydney.
Sydney360 is an online city guide using 360 degree photography from the air, land and sea to create a stunning virtual tour of Sydney.
The concept is the brainchild of Mark Dalgleish, owner of Sydney Harbour Boat Tours whose family-run business was devastated by COVID-19, along with the rest of Sydney’s tourism industry.
“We were all in the same boat. Hundreds of small businesses and guides who relied almost entirely on international visitors were facing closures and unemployment. So rather than sit back and wait for handouts we got a small group of operators to think outside the box and fight back,” said Mr Dalgleish.
Although Sydney360 includes some of Sydney’s major attractions such as Merlin Entertainment’s Wild Life Zoo, most of the businesses are small independent operators such as Margret Campbell from Indigenous tour company Dreamtime Southern X, who’s Welcome to Country sets the scene.
Sydney360 is free and accessible on any device. Users get a birdseye view of Sydney and can navigate their own journey to places and activities of interest.
