    Chris Zhu, C M Hall et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Heritage Tourism•2023•Cited by: 3•References: 10

    The emergence of digital technology has led researchers, businesses, and entrepreneurs to reflect more on the potential value that Augmented Reality (AR) can play in tourism.

To fill this research gap, the current study constructs a theoretical model fr…
