Accordingly, with review the theoretical background of gamification, the paper aims to evaluating the potentials of gamification in online tourism marketing. The results of review of gamification literatures showed that, gamification by boosting data driving, customer loyalty, brand awareness, user generated content, viriality, online engagement and of course revenue can be useful tool for success of online advertising activities.
