“In this digital age, an innovation like the Comber Virtual Town Tour is futureproofing a town which has been serving the local community for generations. By adapting to connect with a broader audience through their chosen device, we are ultimately assisting with supporting our local economy. Harnessing the power of technology is essential for businesses to grow and this tour provides another vehicle for those participating to attract new customers and drive footfall to their businesses.
