Abstract

This study explores the mutually beneficial development of metaverse and the tourism industry from a legal perspective. Metaverse provides virtual spaces that offer experiences similar to the real world, and it has gained significant attention for its potential applications in the tourism industry. However, this development comes with legal challenges and issues that need to be addressed. This study presents specific measures focusing on intellectual property protection, personal data privacy, diversity promotion, and the enhancement of transaction and contractual effectiveness. By pursuing these measures, metaverse and the tourism industry can foster innovation and provide enriched tourism experiences. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the legal aspects surrounding metaverse and its integration with the tourism industry, paving the way for their sustainable and mutually beneficial development.
