Elvis Presley’s Graceland to offer virtual tours in 2021

You quickly will be ready to visit Elvis’ house without leaving your very own.

Graceland on Thursday announced it will host three live “digital” tours of the Elvis Presley estate, on Jan. 27, Feb. 25 and March 25.

The effort was developed as governmentally mandated and self-imposed restrictions on journey and vacationer action have drastically lowered attendance and earnings at Graceland, even as the mansion and its linked sights have remained opened, in just restrictions, throughout most of the pandemic.

People walk along the path towards the mansion at Graceland for a tour in Memphis, Tenn., on Thursday, May 21, 2020. Graceland reopened for the first time since closing March 20 amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On the other hand, the “virtual” tour thought was on the Graceland drawing board even right before the arrival of the novel coronavirus. 

“We know that Elvis is a around the globe name but we also know that there are people who will never ever make it to the United States, even pre-pandemic,” explained Angie Marchese, vice president of Graceland Archives and Reveals, who will host the excursions. “This is an option for individuals who usually are not traveling at this time but also for men and women who will never be in a position to make it to Memphis and Graceland.” 

She reported global visitors normally make up about 20% of Graceland tourists, but “our international visitorship proper now is, of course,  zero.”
