In this study, it is aimed to evaluate online guided virtual tours, which started to be massified for the first time with the COVID-19 pandemic, as an alternative in the context of the tour guiding profession and to address them in a holistic manner. The pandemic is known to have accelerated the pace of digitalization globally and transformed many professions. It is seen that the tour guiding, which is considered one of the key stakeholders of the tourism sector, is also faced with new alternative practices in the face of this digitalization. Among these new applications, online guided virtual tours, which have become massive with the impact of global sharing platforms such as Airbnb and TripAdvisor, are considered as an alternative in the tour guide profession. Considering that digital and virtual applications have become widespread in recent years and have the potential to grow gradually, the investigation of online guided virtual tours, which are predicted to create an important alternative in the field of tour guiding, is important in terms of providing a perspective to the tour guiding profession and stakeholders. In this conceptual study, an evaluation and some suggestions are given in terms of the possible usage areas of these virtual tours in the field of tour guiding and their impact on the future of the profession.
