The Study on Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality for Supporting Myanmar Tourists in Thailand

Abstract—Our research is contributed in two ways: firstly to study on the background and profile of tourists in Thailand, in particularly we focus on Myanmar tourists, and review the literature of applying AR/VR technologies recently. Secondly, we analyse the practical method and benefits towards applying of AR/VR technology to support the tourism in Thailand. This paper presents our study that we developed the survey on Myanmar tourists in Thailand. Additionally, the study aims to examine the main development of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) research in tourism. It aims to pinpoint directions for tourism research on AR and VR applications. We then propose the approach to support the tourism business in Thailand focusing Myanmar tourists by applying the AR/VR technology.
