This article discusses the use of VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) technologies in mobile applications for the tourism sector. The basic concepts of the technologies under consideration are given. The analysis of mobile mapping applications using virtual and augmented reality technologies is performed. The trends and perspectives of using AR and VR technologies for tourism are revealed. The differences in the methods and scenarios of using these technologies, the feasibility of their implementation in cartographic applications created for tourism purposes, as well as their advantages of using them in combination with maps are revealed. The limiting factors of the development of these areas are considered. A scheme of interaction of a tourist mobile application has been developed, which is based on a map with external services (navigation, booking, virtual tours, etc.). The scheme can be a useful tool in the development of cartographic mobile applications for the tourism sector. It is based on an experimental interactive web-application, considered on the example of the "Hotels" layer.
