"This website is not your usual 'read-some-copy, look-at-some-pictures' travel site. I don't know of any other travel Web site that focuses on virtual photographic tours. Travel planners and tourists can now take an online tour around San Diego with 360-degree virtual photography. After experiencing San Diego's sights and attractions online, visitors can decide where to go, what to do, and what to see when they visit" Robert Burns, Founder AroundAndAboutSanDiego.com

Each featured tour is supplemented with useful information and contact details. Visitors now can experience the breadth and variety of San Diego-based activities and attractions online to help them plan their ultimate vacation. 

"This website is not your usual read-some-copy, look-at-some-pictures travel site," says Robert Burns, the site's founder. "I don't know of any other travel Web site that focuses on virtual photographic tours. Travel planners and tourists can now take an online tour "around San Diego" with 360-degree virtual photography. After experiencing San Diego's sights and attractions online just as if they were there in person, visitors can decide where to go, what to do, and what to see when they visit 

Burns, has spent years exploring the many avenues for adventure and fun in San Diego. "The fact that you can experience the desert, snow, mountains and ocean in the course of a day has always been amazing to me. If you are really motivated, you can snow ski, surf, take a mountain hike, and race dune buggies all in one weekend," says Burns. "I grew up here and want to showcase San Diego to the world. I love San Diego." 
 
Burns' love and enthusiasm for his hometown has been the impetus for his creation of this unique site. At AroundAndAboutSanDiego.com, viewers are immersed in the sights of each location while the camera automatically pans full circle. This new technology promises to simplify travel planning by providing a one-stop online destination which meets all tourist planning needs.

The URLwire Effect:
"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site" 
-- CoolShopping.com

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive.
I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin Hayward
