The tourism sector must integrate sustainability to mitigate environmental impacts, ensure destination profitability, and promote responsible travel. Emerging technologies, particularly the metaverse, have potential revolutionise environmental, economic, social sustainability. Although recent research on metaverse-based sustainable development has expanded, studies its application within remain limited. This paper addresses this gap by exploring metaverse's advance practices in tourism, aligning with goals (SDGs).By integrating three behavioural theories – Theory of Planned Behavior, Technology Acceptance Model, Self-Determination provides a comprehensive framework assess impact metaverse identify most relevant SDGs. Through systematic meta-analysis, study presents four key propositions: foundational technologies will redefine travel experiences through immersive engagements; tourists may develop more realistic expectations, altering dynamics; understanding diverse identities is crucial; introduces an innovative business model aligned creative economy. interdisciplinary approach offers insights into transformative bridging technology, psychology. underscores importance these intersections, contributing valuable evolving landscape amidst changing consumer expectations imperatives.
