The recent COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the global shift to online resources, especially within the travel and tourism sector. The goal of our project was therefore to create a virtual tour of the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve (SER) in Monteverde, Costa Rica to expand their outreach and promote further donations. We designed our virtual tour based on data collected from past visitors, tour guides, and experts of the reserve. As we developed the tour, we sent out drafts and collected survey feedback from users to identify possible areas of improvement. We lastly presented several recommendations so the reserve can keep the tour updated and integrate a donation platform in the future.
