Abstract

The current era has witnessed remarkable advancements due to the rapid development of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies. These technologies hold immense promise for continuous growth in the tourism sector. However, in Iran, there has been less attention paid to the application of this phenomenon in the field of tourism. The lack of previous research in this field prompted an investigation into the current position of interactive digital storytelling in the travel and tourism industry to motivate tourists. This research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of data collection and analysis. T Exploratory factor analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicate that there is a causal relationship between the elements of digital storytelling and travel motivation, and that digital storytelling through interactive digital media has a positive impact on motivating tourists to travel.
