Vocational training is the cornerstone of many industries especially those that depend mainly on the human element like tourism.

The tour guide is considered one of the most vital employees in tourism.

Depending on his performance and interaction with the tourists, the destination image is positively or negatively formed.

Accordingly, it is necessary to pay great attention to tour guides' education and training through formal specialized institutes to enhance the professional skills of tour guides.

The training of the tour guidance undergraduate students is usually carried out through field trips in the monumental sites and museums in order to gain professional experience.

However, because of the recent COVID19 Pandemic that resulted in full-scale quarantine, it became necessary to search for another technological approach through distance learning educational platform to achieve the educational objectives of the training courses.

The recent study's aim is to detect the possibility of using 3DHT in distance learning programs to reinforce the professional skills of students and achieve the maximum benefits for them beside considering this innovative method as an alternative approach of education that can be adopted in similar circumstances.
