September 27 is World Tourism Day, which has been celebrated each year by the United Nations World Tourism Organization since 1980. The theme this year is “Tourism and the Digital Transformation,” as digital technology has permeated the tourism industry.

A wide range of cutting-edge technologies have been innovatively applied in almost every part of China’s tourism industry.
