Literary tourism is when people visit places connected to books or authors, often inspired by their favorite stories or authors’ lives. These destinations can include where a novel is set, the hometown of an author, or sites mentioned in a book. It allows readers to experience the settings or history behind beloved works, deepening their appreciation and understanding of the literature. This type of tourism blends travel and literary appreciation, creating meaningful connections between readers and the cultural or historical context of the stories they love.
