3. Do you think that Yorescape may reduce the number of tourists who visit the sites it presents?

No. Of course, Yorescape offers a virtual alternative to those unable to take an actual trip for personal reasons such as lack of time, economic circumstances, physical limitation, etc. That said, our goal in creating Yorescape is primarily to promote real-world tourism. Yorescape helps the real-world tourist in these ways:

Peparation: Before leaving for your destination, get ready on Yorescape by taking a virtual tour of the site you plan to visit.
Information on site: Once you arrive, use the mobile version of Yorescape to explore the site on your own.
Recollection: After a trip, Yorescape helps you to keep alive your memories of the destination by making it easy to return there virtually again and again.
