Abstract: This Research Letter aims to expand media-induced tourism to the domain of video games. It highlights the emerging influence of video games on tourism, particularly tourism destinations featured in video games. Based on this developing nexus, this paper conceptualizes the nascent link between video game-induced tourism and heritage attractions and argues that video games can be a potential driving force for restoring, preserving, and conserving heritage attractions in tourism destinations.
