Abstract: With the widespread application of virtual reality (VR) technology in tourism education, educators must critically reflect on the ethical issues it raises. This paper analyzes the implementation of VR in tourism education and explores its impact on students' authentic learning experiences. The study examines the practical effects of virtual learning in teaching, offering advanced case studies of VR education and addressing the challenges encountered during its use. Findings suggest that the application of VR in education must prioritize the process-based experience of learners, emphasizing the importance of preserving students' opportunities to engage with educational reality.
