During the time of the pandemic, travel restrictions have impacted the tourism industry with an estimated loss of more than a trillion USD; however, at the same time, we have seen a significant increase in profits for the industries which empower remote connectivity. Various studies have identified the positive impact of virtual tourism, in which tourists can be attracted by providing a VR/AR-based experience of the destination. Similarly, virtual, mixed, and augmented realities are being used to enhance user experience in digital heritage and its preservation. With emerging technologies and increasing demand for e-tourism (due to travel restrictions), there is a need to review the technological changes and analyze user requirements with respect to virtual tourism. This paper provides a literature review of the latest technologies and applications that can potentially benefit the virtual tourism and digital heritage industry. We also provide an analysis of its impact on user experience, awareness, and interest, as well as the pros and cons of virtual experiences, which may benefit the research community about the current spectrum of virtual tourism and digital heritage.

Virtual tourism experiences (VTEs) have grown rapidly after COVID and are expected to grow further. Customer attitudes toward VTEs are therefore of interest. Attitude, in general, is known to have three components: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. Thematic details of attitudes toward VTEs have not yet been explored, motivating the current study. We use a mixed‐method approach to explore latent themes within online reviews for VTEs. Latent Dirichlet allocation, used for topic modeling, is applied to 58,675 reviews from Airbnb online experiences. Next, we analyze 70 online reviews from Viator using thematic analysis. The primary themes that emerge are host appreciation, recommendation, hedonic experience, interactive aspects, social connections, and culture and learning. We discuss in detail how these themes relate to the tri‐component model of attitude. Our study of post‐purchase consumer attitudes provides new insights into the design, delivery, and marketing of VTEs which has academic as well as managerial implications.
