The purpose of the site is to reduce the number of people's yearly travel movements and to give everyone a chance to visit every corner of the world, even if you are not normally able to do so. "Virtual traveling gives you peace of mind, is better for the environment and you still learn a lot from it."

Side note on the comment 'low CO2 emissions': when traveling virtually you use video data, which is played on Google's servers. This takes a lot of energy. Google is doing its utmost to obtain more and more of this energy from hydropower, sun and wind. See [ here ] for more information.
