The May Day holiday is about to begin. Do you want to go to a "contactless scenic spot"?

The construction of "smart scenic spots" is a breakthrough in the transformation of my country's tourism industry from traditional service industry to modern service industry. By building smart tourism demonstration cities, industrial parks, and demonstration enterprises, strengthening the exploration and construction of my country's smart scenic spot equipment manufacturing, smart scenic spot application software, and smart scenic spot operation and development models has become a major direction for the current tourism development.

On April 13, 2020, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the National Health Commission jointly issued the "Notice on Preventing and Controlling Epidemics and Safe and Orderly Opening of Tourist Attractions", requiring tourist attractions to The number of tourists received shall not exceed 30% of the approved maximum carrying capacity. At present, scenic spots across the country are actively implementing it. For example, the Lushan Scenic Spot has implemented a daily limit of no more than 10,000 tourists.

Now, facing the upcoming May Day holiday, some scenic spots have begun to use "black technology" to improve the efficiency of entrance inspections. According to domestic media reports, smart helmets have been used in Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie Scenic Area, etc. to quickly and contactlessly detect the body temperature of tourists, greatly improving the detection efficiency. In addition, Hangzhou Xixi Wetland Scenic Area has also introduced smart temperature measuring AR glasses, which can measure the body temperature of 100 people in 2 minutes.

Based on reality, some companies have also begun to explore new models and new directions for smart tourism. On April 20, Alipay announced that it would create a "digital scenic spot" this year, and Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou became a national "contactless" digital scenic spot pilot. Currently, nearly 75% of ticket purchases in Qiandao Lake Scenic Area come from online reservations. The hotel check-in scene in the scenic area also supports contactless self-service, establishing a contactless tourism model. Some hotels in Qiandao Lake Scenic Area have activated self-check-in smart devices and turned on the "contactless check-in" mode.

The application of intelligent self-service check-in machines and robots has also made many tourists feel comfortable when traveling. With the help of smart self-service check-in machines, tourists can quickly complete body temperature measurement, scan code registration and other matters when checking into the hotel, achieving contactless check-in or check-out throughout the process. Then, the robot can take the guest to the room, and the service supplies, takeaways, hotel meal orders, etc. that the guest needs during their stay can be delivered to the room by the robot.Reduce close contact between people and reduce safety risks.

According to statistics, a total of 250 hotels in Hangzhou have introduced City Brain’s “30-second self-service check-in” system. The newly developed system has added functions such as health code authentication and infrared body temperature detection. It can help tourists check into hotels quickly and create conditions for the hotel industry to resume work better.

In the final analysis, contactless services are the product of digitalization and onlineization in a certain sense. In the tourism industry, it means fully mobilizing various data resources, opening up online promotion channels, and providing offline tourism project services, striving to reduce the operating costs of scenic spots while optimizing the tourist experience. With the in-depth development of digital technologies such as informatization, networking, big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, the digitalization trend of human society is becoming more and more obvious. A new round of digital economy represented by 5G, intelligent hardware, etc. is in the ascendant. , will have a greater impact on the tourism industry.

Watching theater in the cloud, taking a boat ride in the cloud, listening to music in the cloud, doesn’t it sound very pleasant? Behind the realization of these creative ideas is the role of cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things. The rapid development of AR, VR and other technologies has also provided a basis for transforming the beautiful scenery of the motherland's great rivers and mountains into reality without leaving home. In the future, smart tourism will "go further" driven by these technologies.

This May Day holiday, will you choose to rest at home or travel?
