Abstract:
Having been exposed to several tourism products and destinations, experienced, sophisticated and demanding travellers rely greatly on electronic media to obtain information about destinations, as well as to be able to communicate their needs and wishes to suppliers rapidly. The term Virtual reality is used to describe systems that attempt to replace much or all of the userâ€™s experience of the physical world with synthesised 3D material such as figures and sound. With Virtual reality, the user finds himself in the same dimension as and is immersed within the data. Though there is a presence of Assam on various ICT media, the customer communication of the state is limited to presence only. The benefits and utility of ICT and Internet based tools for effective customer communication of Assam ass tourism destination is yet to be realised. Besides virtual tourism or pervasive environment architecture, etc are totally absent from the customer communication strategies of the state.
