Such technological transformation creates significant cybersecurity challenges, such as data breaches, violations of users’ privacy, and vulnerabilities on platforms. Therefore, our work uses bibliometric approaches to examine the growing body of research on virtual tourism cybersecurity. A total of 1145 publications were retrieved using the specified query, which includes studies on the dangers of data theft, malware threats, shoddy authentication procedures, and improper usage of augmented and virtual reality technologies. Our investigation identifies leading cybersecurity academics, top publications, primary research clusters, and regional research bases. Cybersecurity research on virtual tourism helps academics create better security methods by highlighting areas of the subject that are explored less. Consequently, the scientific results of this study give decision-makers in the fields of virtual tourism development and web security the ability to create more reliable and effective systems for users.
