Bookstore tourism refers to the practice of visiting bookstores as a primary activity during travel. This trend has gained popularity among book lovers who seek unique literary experiences, often exploring independent and historic bookstores in various cities. These visits can provide insight into local culture and literature, as well as opportunities to discover rare or regional books. Many travelers document their bookstore visits on social media, sharing their experiences with hashtags like bookstoretourism or bookstagram. Some cities even promote bookstore tours, guiding visitors to notable locations such as The Strand in New York City or Shakespeare and Company in Paris.
