Özet

The existence of technological innovations and the transition from the physical world to the virtual world form the basis for research beyond the universe. This is how the Metaverse concept can be defined as beyond the universe. In the Metaverse world, people can create an avatar with the characters they create and with the presence of smart technologies like virtual glasses, smart consoles, etc. They can also travel in this world with their avatars. The physical world's needs can be met as well as those of the virtual world. In the Metaverse world, people will be able to benefit from hotel businesses to meet the accommodation needs of their avatars. Virtual hotels and applications can also be found in the Metaverse world. The purpose of this research consists of constructing a virtual hotel in the tourism sector of the Metaverse world and determining what the applications of this hotel can be. Within the scope of the research, how to structure the virtual hotel application that can be created in the Metaverse world and its advantages and risks in terms of tourism businesses are conceptually examined. Document analysis and case studies are used as research methods. As a result of the research, it is stated what virtual hotels and applications can be in the context of the tourism sector in the Metaverse, how businesses and guests who use the applications can benefit from these applications, and what alternatives can be related to tourism activities in the Metaverse in future studies from a broad perspective. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2023.
