The French journalist, Mr. Joel Henry started Experimental Tourism. Experimental Tourism can be defined as something between game and travel (Bures, 2005).

An estimated financial investment of $600.000 is needed and is calculated as follows:

However, these figures may change, and are just a rough estimate of the total financial costs for the business.
Though starting a business is not the simplest thing due to all the investments needed, it is always possible to take a loan at the bank.
Conclusion
It can be concluded that London Heathrow Airport remains one of the busiest airports in the world, which is a significant business opportunity for this company.
There is no place where people can finish paperwork, take naps without worrying about belongings being stolen, and that’s where V-Nap comes in.
Instead of stressing about a delayed flight, people can simply use V-Nap and experience the virtual reality camera to get excited about dream destinations.
Now a day, almost everything evolves around technology and virtual reality has become something very popular and is used in many ways. Therefore, we have added this to our sleeping cabins located in terminal 3 at London Heathrow Airport
