Tech empowering cultural tourism becomes highlight during National Day holiday

During the 2026 National Day holiday, technologies such as AI, XR, and embodied intelligence entered scenic areas and cultural and museum venues, helping applications including exoskeletons, AI glasses-guided tours, and AI companion tour robots reshape the public travel experience. According to China Tourism News, the "Plan for Building a Tourism Powerhouse during the 15th Five-Year Plan" proposes promoting the deep application of digital-intelligent technologies and data elements in tourism venues and cultivating smart tourism immersive experience space projects. Ancient capital projects such as Kaifeng's Qingming Shanghe Garden rely on lighting and VR to revitalize Song Dynasty culture, and urban sci-tech innovation resources have also been transformed into participatory, research-study tourism products.
