| Kivonat: | The role of new technologies in tourism is continuously evolving, leading to the growth of consumer interactions through the usage of virtual reality in tourist destination marketing. In addition to the current focus on the influence of travel intentions, the implementation of virtual tourism is projected to have an impact on the travel experience on the spot. On the other side, the tourism sector is facing sudden changes due to COVID regulations, war, economic inflations, and this is leading to a huge decline in the industry since people are not able to travel due to safety and health reasons besides the countries’ restrictions and new rules. So from these points, the idea of creating a virtual tourism website rose to be a possibility that gives visitors an opportunity to obtain detailed information about tourist attractions while taking virtual tours and getting to know different sites, also getting the chance to learn about culture, sustainable activities and traditions of the desired country without harming the environment or spending a lot of money. This will create a base of an alternative type of tourism in case of sudden changes in the world, and in this research we will create a base plan for virtual tourism in general, and will introduce the applied concept as a website for virtual tourism in Damascus, Syria, which was considered one of the most important tourist attraction destinations all over the world, but due to the war and Covid, no one is visiting Syria now. The virtual website can be the key to reviving Tourism, because through it we will present the idea of virtual tourism to the visitors where they can discover the history, culture, traditions and attractions from the comfort of their homes, besides being able to exchange languages, learn handicrafts and interact with locals, and this will create a base of an alternative type of tourism in case of sudden changes in the world, like the Covid-19 pandemic and others. |
