🚢✨ Oise River Side’s booth drew in visitors with a unique immersive experience: a Virtual Reality flight over the future Seine-Nord Europe Canal, a major infrastructure set to open around 2030. 🏗️👀
🎮 A one-of-a-kind immersive experience! Equipped with Oculus VR headsets, participants became virtual birds 🦅, soaring over the 107 km of the future canal. They explored the giant locks, some of which will be open to visitors, and admired the spectacular 1.3 km aqueduct, the longest in Europe! 🌉
🌿 A project in harmony with nature. Beyond the infrastructure, this experience showcased the lagooned banks and how the canal blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. A real invitation to envision the future of river tourism! 🚤💚
🚢 Strong interest from industry professionals. River cruise companies were particularly drawn to this vision, seeing the Seine-Nord Europe Canal as an opportunity to enhance their Paris-Amsterdam itineraries. Exciting prospects lie ahead for the development of new tourist experiences! 🔥
