Abstract :Since the concept of tourism has a multifaceted structure, many activities could be evaluated within the scope of tourism activities. Electronic sports events could also be evaluated in this context. E-sports events such as Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Valorant and Dota 2 bring users together through many gaming platforms. Thus, when e-sports events are considered as event tourism, these events could lead to tourism movements. It is seen that e-sports players and e-sports viewers travel to the destinations where the event is held. Especially the destinations where these events are organized could provide an advantage in terms of touristic recognition. This study is a conceptual study that predicts that e-sports events will be among the new trends of tourism. This study has been carried out in order to reveal an idea on the effects of e-sports events on the tourism sector. Therefore, systematic literature review has been applied in this study. As a result of the literature review, it has been concluded that e-sports activities could have positive effects on the tourism sector.
