When it comes to picking a luxury spot for a fishing location, there’s no way to try before you buy. Or is there? Thanks to virtual reality, this could be set to change. High-end holidaymakers may no longer need to worry about making the wrong choice, wishing they’d booked a vacation to a different country or resort.

There are already numerous VR fishing offerings for people to enjoy, allowing them to get a sense of angling spots around the world. Soon, these titles will be so immersive that they’ll give you a true taste of a location, enabling you to suss it out before you book a holiday there.

 

Fishing Was Made for VR

The whole point of VR is to give people the chance to experience things that they may not have been able to before. This can involve transporting them to different places, or it could mean allowing them to get a feel for real world activities through simulations. Developers have managed to recreate fishing in VR, with detailed digital versions giving people the chance to learn proper fishing techniques.

Although VR is still in its early stages, there have been some great developments in its fishing offerings. Titles like Real VR Fishing aim for full immersion, with users even being able to hear different splashing sounds in the water depending on the size of the fish they catch.

It's no surprise that fishing has been one of the earliest genres tackled by VR developers. The pastime has always been well-represented across the entertainment industry, with countless documentaries about it. There are also numerous fishing slot games, with Fishin’ Frenzy up there with the most popular games. The game gives players a chance to catch exotic fish and highlights how many people want to experience the feeling of reeling in a huge catch.

 

Exploring Iconic Locations in VR

When it comes to the interests of luxury travelers, VR isn’t essential for experiencing fishing. It’s easy to just book a first-class ticket to anywhere in the world and enjoy the pastime first-hand. However, there’s not enough time for most people to jet off to every location. Therefore, VR could act as a great way to quickly test out a potential luxury fishing spot before booking a five-star resort in the region.

Developers are still working on improving the graphics of VR, but there are promising projections for its evolution over the next few years. According to Grand View Research, the industry could be worth $434.36 billion by 2030, suggesting a vast amount of advancement between now and then.

When the visuals improve, VR users will be able to get a true sense of some of the world’s paramount fishing spots. Imagine hopping from the Seychelles all the way to Alaska’s Kenai River in a matter of moments. It will offer the chance to test out different types of fishing, so you can get a feel for what’s best for you.

Planning a luxury fishing holiday will soon be easier than ever, with VR set to offer plenty of opportunities for users to test out some of the world’s best angling locations.
