If I'm traveling it's because I want to actually experience something different, not because I want to sit around a hotel room with something strapped to my head make-believing that I'm somewhere. This makes no sense to me and seems to be counter to ever reason people engage in leisure travel.

“Guests and their loved ones can enjoy simulated adventures in real-time, whether it be a walk through the Serengeti or an ocean swim with extinct marine life,” Ms Popcorn predicted.
I think the word they were looking for was porn.

The company has sought the expertise of futurist Faith Popcorn

Stopped reading after that.

There are, indeed, some cities business takes me where I wouldn't mind VR glasses. Jakarta, Wolfsburg, Dortmund, Beijing come to my mind
Apart from that ... the idea seems a little weird...

Yes. I think the acceleration promo is definitely designed from a room with full of smoke.
