%X Prior research on Extended Reality (XR) has been a starting point for the development of the Metaverse. It is also a concern for researchers  in the tourism field since it can enhance the tourist experience. Metaverse Tourism provides a virtual experience of the tourism destination  for the users. It is potentially developed and predicted to be the future of tourism, enhancing the tourist experience through  communication between humans and avatars and providing a new option for tourists to enjoy leisure activities. Recently, discussion on  Metaverse tourism is still emerging, with some open talks from researchers in the intersections between information technology and  tourism. This study extends prior studies by proposing six Metaverse tourism elements and categorizing them into core and supporting  elements. Then, we analyze the consequences of those elements on the Tourism Experience Journey to enhance each stage with different  characteristics. This study can contribute to continuing recent dialogues among scholars on how Metaverse can be applied in the tourism  sector by proposing six elements that should be considered in developing and creating Metaverse services.
