Ziyorat tourism, or pilgrimage tourism, has been experiencing significant digital transformation in recent years. One of the most promising innovations is the use of 3D technologies, which enhance the visitor experience and provide a deeper understanding of historical and religious sites. This paper explores the potential applications of 3D modeling, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) in ziyorat tourism, focusing on their benefits, challenges, and future prospects. The paper also discusses the economic and cultural impact of these technologies on the tourism sector and their role in the preservation of heritage sites.
