The future of tourism will blend both virtual and real experiences, but lean more toward authentic, in-person adventures. Post-pandemic, travelers crave genuine cultural immersion, local interactions, and sensory-rich encounters that VR can't fully replicate—like tasting street food or feeling ocean breezes. While virtual tourism is booming (market projected to grow 25-30% CAGR to 2030), driven by VR/AR for planning, accessibility, and sustainability, it mainly complements physical travel by previewing destinations or enabling eco-friendly alternatives. Experts agree: technology enhances, but doesn't replace, the irreplaceable human element of real journeys.https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/virtual-tourism-market-report
