“…Tourists adopt VR/AR mobile applications given their ease of use and interactive features (Soltani Nejad et al , 2022). Although mobile applications like Travel World VR and AR Wild promote tourism sites (Liang and Elliot, 2021), limited research in TE through VR/AR highlights their impact on visitation intention.…”

Purpose This study consolidates insights on the role of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in tourism engagement (TE). In addition, it suggests new directions for research in tourism and hospitality. Design/methodology/approach A hybrid integrative review was used with bibliometric and theory-context-characteristics-method framework analyses of 236 peer-reviewed journal articles. Findings Computer science journals dominate TE in VR/AR research. Emotional and immersive attributes of VR/AR sustain TE. Exploring cultural theories can enrich TE perspectives in the context of VR/AR. This study offers fruitful directions by exploring virtual technology’s role in sustaining cultural heritage and studying TE intentions and perceptions on VR/AR tourism mobile applications. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that uncovers the structure and intellectual rationale of existent research.

“…In other words, isolating tourists’ psychological activities from their behavioral activities in a specific tourist destination can not effectively reflect tourist engagement. Several scholars [ 40 ] recommend context-specific examinations for consumer engagement due to its interactive and context-defined nature.…”

“…Davis’s technology acceptance model (TAM) has been adapted in tourism studies to examine users’ acceptance of technological services (e.g., apps & robots) [ 40 , 42 , 43 ]. The TAM suggests that the designed features could affect consumers’ perceived usefulness and ease of use, influencing their attitudes and intention in using and purchasing a technology [ 44 ].…”

Enhancing tourist loyalty through location-based service apps: Exploring the roles of digital literacy, perceived ease of use, perceived autonomy, virtual-content congruency, and tourist engagement

Advanced mobile functions and empowered smartphones have provided tourists with various location-based service apps that reshaped the business model of the tourism sector. Despite their importance to tourists, l-apps still have limitations, such as ignorance of tourist preferences and the mismatch between app introduction and tourist experience, therefore affecting tourist loyalty to destinations. Understanding tourist-oriented factors thus becomes critical for l-app designers and service providers. This study integrates the technology-acceptance model (TAM) into a unique context to examine the roles of digital literacy, perceived ease of use, perceived autonomy, virtual-content congruence, and tourist engagement on tourist loyalty. Our empirical test of a structural equation model based on a randomly recruited 319 customers found that tourists’ digital literacy influences their engagement and perceived ease of use, which mediates the relationship between digital literacy and engagement; tourists’ perceived autonomy influences their engagement. Moreover, we found the moderating role of information-experience congruency between digital literacy, perceived ease of use, and perceived autonomy and tourist engagement, thus contributing to the boundary conditions of the TAM model. Finally, tourist engagement contributes to tourist loyalty. The study contributes to the integration of the technology acceptance model with a tourist orientation. The findings also offer meaningful, practical implications and recommendations on l-app design to stakeholders of tourist destinations.
