The event highlights how AI-driven services and sustainable flower cultivation are revitalizing local tourism, offering a blueprint for economic growth through innovation.
Tech Meets Tradition
AI-powered tools, such as mobile apps providing real-time rose care advice and augmented reality tours of flower fields, are enhancing visitor experiences. Meanwhile, smart greenhouses equipped with climate-control algorithms are boosting rose yields, supporting local growers. Experts emphasize that these advancements position Mentougou—a region rich in cultural heritage—as a model for tech-integrated rural tourism.
Economic and Cultural Impact
Local businesses report increased foot traffic, with travelers drawn to AI-guided floral workshops and artisanal rose-based products. Residents say the initiative has created jobs while preserving traditional horticultural practices. "This isn’t just about flowers," said one researcher. "It’s about empowering communities through sustainable innovation."
Looking Ahead
With Mentougou attracting both tech enthusiasts and nature lovers, analysts predict similar projects could reshape tourism across Asia. Small and medium enterprises are already exploring partnerships to replicate this blend of ecological preservation and smart technology.
