Amazon.com Inc. is shutting down a virtual tour feature called “Amazon Explore,” which was launched during the pandemic, in the latest belt-tightening move by the online giant as it adjusts to slowing sales.
“At Amazon, we are always experimenting and testing ideas like Amazon Explore,” the company said Wednesday in a statement. “While we are winding down this program, we’ll continue innovating and investing in new ways to delight our customers. We are supporting our affected employees during this transition and working to identify other opportunities within Amazon.”
