Taj
Mahal, Agra ranks third in the list for the top 10 Street View
destinations in Asia by Google. Japan still attracts most of the world’s
virtual tourists, cultural monuments and temples. In the lead are
Hashima Island and Mount Fuji in Japan.
According
to the Google Asia Pacific Blog, India’s iconic Taj Mahal, which was
published on Street View February 2014, has emerged as one of the most
popular Asian places for global virtual travelers. This destination is
viewed by people not only in India but also in Singapore, Australia,
Korea, Philippines and Malaysia.
Unfortunately,
Google Street View does not work in India for regular cities. But
Google has partnered with Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to have
around 100 national monuments on Street View.
Apart
from the Taj Mahal, people also viewed Angkor’s thousand-year-old
temples on Street View. The blog mentioned that the temples attract over
2 million tourists a year in offline tourism.
Most
people prefer to visit cultural heritage sites when they are looking at
Street View. Other top searches in India include the Red Fort in New
Delhi along with the Qutub Minar in New Delhi as well.
