The use of Virtual Reality (VR) in tourism sector is gaining grounds across the globe. VR is an efficient persuasive marketing promotion tool for tourism stakeholders but its use in developing nations has raised some concerns especially in a 'growing-tourism' nation like Nigeria. Can VR replace the alluring, scenic and captivating tourist sites in Nigeria? What are the factors in favor and against the use of VR in Nigeria tourism sector? Possible answers to these questions necessitated this study. Secondary data were the principal means of data generation and the results were analyzed thematically. The study revealed that a developing nation like Nigeria's adoption of VR into its tourism sector comes with gains and losses respectively. Tourism planning and promotion, preservative and conservative values, insecurity challenges and the tainted image of Nigeria favor the use of VR in the sector but economic losses via reduction in dwindling-poor-tourists traffic, decline in patronage of existing destinations stifle development of unidentified potential tourists site, discourage the application of VR in the nation's tourism. VR application in Nigeria holds dual stand of which in-depth investigation is imperative before its application to Nigeria's tourism sector. The need for Nigeria's apex tourism organization (NTDC) and other state owned tourism ministries and parastatals to study VR pros and cons in tourism is a probable right path in the 21st Century. The study serves as a pointer to policy makers and academia of the vicissitudes of VR application in developing nations, with attendant value to neighboring countries and nations with interest in tourism due to the unpredictable future of VR which keeps evolving daily.

The Value of Experience: Virtual Reality as a Form of Barrier-Free Tourism
Tanvir Ahmed
Virtual reality (VR) has dominated technology headlines in recent years with its ability to immerse users in a virtual world. This technology is changing the tourism industry dramatically. Previously, VR has been used mainly as a marketing tool to promote services and tourist destinations. But nowadays, VR is almost an essential technology, used in many tourism organizations to provide customized services and add value to tourism experiences. VR enables people to travel and visit the most remote areas on the planet from the comfort of their homes.There is an indication that VR contributes to creating a more resilient tourism model.Therefore, this study aims to investigate how value is perceived in VR travel and how the perceived value can promote barrier-free tourism. This paper contributes to the existent literature on consumer value theory in virtual reality experience. Although, several existing literatures focuses on how VR creates an innovative way of tourism, very few academic studies analyze the customer perceived value during the virtual travel experience.
The problem of destination accessibility is a vital concern in the sustainable tourism development in the emerging regions due to the increasing numbers of tourism business growth in the recent times. Tourism is one of the potential foreign exchange earning sectors, which place sustainability as one of the main success metrics for benchmarking the overall development of the industry. On the other hand, there are several destinations, which are inaccessible to tourists due to several reasons. Underutilization of potential destinations in both pre purchase and consumption stages is a strategic disadvantage for emerging countries on leading their tourism industry towards sustainability. This research embarks on a content analysis of second life based tourism groups and places. Requirement of a virtual world model to increase the destination accessibility of tourism products has been outlined. The model has to be designed with visual and auditory experience to tourists. The model is exp...

With technology on an exponentially advancing trajectory, it’s never been more important to keep up-to-date with how a hotel can incorporate the latest innovations into their business. One great example is virtual reality. Booking a room online used to just involve reading reviews or flicking through photos of the intended accommodation. Recently, however, the hotel industry has woken up to the benefits of virtual reality and the options for booking online have multiplied
