Summary: This study investigates the reasons behind tourists' engagement with travel videos on the short-form video sharing platform TikTok. Through semi-structured interviews with 12 tourists, who consume, produce, and share travel videos on TikTok, the study finds that consuming and creating TikTok touristic fantasies, hashtagging travel experiences, and storing meaningful life moments in a public diary are the primary motivations for tourists' engagement with TikTok travel videos. The study suggests that the use of TikTok as a visual storytelling platform extends to the tourism context, blurring the boundaries between tourism experiences and everyday life.
