Metaverse tourism is an emerging concept that refers to the practice of exploring and experiencing virtual worlds and digital environments. It offers a wide range of immersive experiences, social interactions, and exploration opportunities. In the metaverse, tourists can visit and interact with various virtual destinations, which can be designed to replicate real-world locations, historical periods, fantasy realms, or entirely new and imaginative landscapes. Tourists can embark on virtual adventures, solve puzzles, or participate in multiplayer games with people worldwide. It is important to note that the metaverse concept is still evolving, and the extent of its development and adoption may vary over time. However, as technology advances and virtual experiences become more immersive, metaverse tourism will likely become an increasingly popular and accessible form of travel and exploration. Based on the above, the authors intend to systematically review the bibliometric literature on tourism in the metaverse using the Scopus database with the analysis of 75 academic and/or scientific documents
