The new virtual travel experiences on Amazon Explore will allow you to choose from a plethora of options like cooking classes, walking tours, wine tasting and much more. Through the new interactive experience platform, you can also shop for local souvenirs and screenshot your experience for ‘travel’ photos.
Imagine taking a stroll through Kyoto’s Nanzenji Temple, wine tasting in Argentina, learning to make fish tacos in Mexico, or going for a walk in New York’s Central Park! Wherever you want to go and whatever you want to experience, the virtual travel experience on Amazon will enable it for you from the comfort of your home.

The new Amazon Explore is also providing job opportunities to tour operators so that they can get a chance to manage such experiences online, if not in person, considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
According to TechCrunch, Amazon Explore currently offers 86 experiences in 16 countries, and has plans to further expand in the future. Each of the virtual travel experiences on Amazon last for anywhere between 30 to 90 minutes, and are made available only via invitations, which Amazon members can request through the site itself. Moreover, those who are not comfortable with the camera can opt for only audio, where only tour guides will be visible on camera, and the participants can communicate with them without being actually visible themselves.
