Is Tour Guiding Possible in Metaverse?

Abstract

Researchers are wondering to what extent it is possible for professions to take place in the coming years in the Metaverse world, which has attracted more attention over time. In this context, it is aimed to discuss whether it is possible to practice the profession of tour guiding in Metaverse. The study is based on a conceptual research. Since the Metaverse is not a well-known and easy-to-understand concept, compilation studies that constitute conceptual and semantic integrity are needed before empirical studies on the subject. With the updating of the possibilities offered by the virtual universe over time, it is thought that tour guiding in the Metaverse, which seems impossible at the moment, may be possible in the future. Technological developments and forecasts for the future show this. Technology is one of the indispensable elements of human life. The basis of all kinds of materials used today is based on advanced technology. While developing technology paves the way for the formation of a new order in human life, it also provides a source for the emergence of different concepts within this order. One of these concepts is Metaverse. Metaverse, which is the basis of the intertwining of reality and virtual environment, constitutes the main subject of the research. The study is suitable for the "what awaits us in the future?" view on people due to the uncertainty of the Metaverse world, which is a result of the ever-developing advanced technology.
