As tangible representations of a location's cultural identity, souvenirs function not only as keepsakes but also as indirect marketing tools that promote the destination. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research reviews the literature on the positive impacts of souvenirs on tourist experiences and perceptions. The findings reveal that tourists value unique and authentic products, which foster emotional connections to destinations. Moreover, the shopping experience significantly influences tourist satisfaction and loyalty.
