From Controllers to Immersion: Exploring the Sense of Place in Video Games
This study aims to develop an understanding of how video gamers develop a sense of place within video game environments. Through semi-structured interviews with 40 video gamers, three key themes were identified: interactive experiences, exploration and immersive experiences. Data analysis has demonstrated that interactive experiences, including those with game inhabitants and objects, add life to virtual worlds. The ability to suspend gameplay and explore virtual environments created a sense of place as video gamers sought to go beyond game objectives. Through immersive experiences, video gamers establish a connection between virtual and real-world places. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential for video games to influence travel intentions and experiences in tourism destinations that feature prominently in video games.

The scope of the journal is international and welcomes research that makes original contributions to theories and methodologies. It continues to publish high quality research papers in any area of tourism, including empirical papers on tourism issues. The journal welcomes submissions based upon both primary research and reviews including papers in areas that may not directly be tourism based but concern a topic that is of interest to researchers in the field of tourism, such as economics, marketing, sociology and statistics.
