It is experienced while traveling in a vehicle, boat, airplane, or even while being exposed to virtual reality (VR) such as VR games and simulations.

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), international tourist arrivals increased by 7% in 2017 as against the previous year and the trend to likely to continue in the near future. An article published in 2017 by Mediakix magazine stated that there are 22.4 million virtual reality users in the U.S. Ongoing developments in motion sickness drug development and delivery systems is projected to augment adoption of prescription motion sickness treatment drugs.
