LONEHILL, South Africa, August 27, 2010 - MyJohannesburgInfo, the online travel website, has recently announced the
launch of their new virtual tour functionality which aims to offer visitors
to the website detailed and eye-catching views of various attractions, while
providing listed companies with unparalleled exposure.

The independent travel website, part of the global MyDestinationInfo
(www.mydestinationinfo.com/) network, aims to offer the most
comprehensive and accurate listings of the region's top attractions,
including Johannesburg restaurants (
johannesburg.mydestinationinfo.com/en/johannesburg-restaurants),
Johannesburg accommodation (
johannesburg.mydestinationinfo.com/en/johannesburg-accommodation),
activities and tours.

Managing director Peter Thompson believes that these new virtual tours
will be of significant benefit to both advertisers and site visitors.
"MyJohannesburgInfo (johannesburg.mydestinationinfo.com/) has always
aimed to create an online environment that gives website visitors an
invaluable travel resource, while providing local tourism operations with the
all the support and exposure that they need. The virtual tours are simply an
extension of this."

The virtual tours, which can be used by restaurants, hotels, guest
houses, and most other travel ventures, are to be delivered using a state of
the art online media player created by Plush Media, exclusively for the
MyDestinationInfo network, and each tour will be compiled at Plush Media's
headquarters in Spain.

Each company that signs up for the virtual tours will have them featured
on their listing page, and visitors will be able to zoom and pan a
high-quality 360 degree image of the establishment.

Thompson also believes that this new feature sets MyJohannesburgInfo
apart from other local travel websites as they continue to develop new and
exciting ways in which to interact with visitors and local business. "Over
the last two years MyJohannesburgInfo has regularly added new and exciting
features, from a comprehensive Johannesburg trip planner, to a fully
functional booking engine offering top deals and specials, and the addition
of virtual tours is just indication of the website's commitment to local
tourism."

company listing, contact MyJohannesburgInfo.
