Move over, traditional museums! This year's Culture & Tourism Services Exhibition at the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) is stealing the spotlight with next-gen tech reshaping how we experience heritage and travel. Voted the 'most anticipated' event by CGTN audiences, the exhibition is serving up a buffet of digital wonders 🕶️💻.
Imagine exploring the Great Wall via VR headsets, or using augmented reality to 'restore' ancient artifacts with a tap. CGTN anchor Michael Wang describes it as 'Pokémon Go meets history class' – blending education with addictive interactivity. Reporter Olivia He spotlighted AI-powered tour guides that adapt to your interests in real-time, saying: 'It’s like having a local friend who’s also a walking encyclopedia.'
The fusion of 5G, metaverse concepts, and interactive storytelling is creating immersive experiences that could redefine global tourism. One demo lets users design virtual travel itineraries shared instantly across social platforms – perfect for Gen Z adventurers 🧳✨.
With over 200 exhibitors from 60+ countries and regions, CIFTIS 2023 proves that the future of cultural exchange is pixel-perfect 🌐🎨.
