Influence of New Productive Forces on the Evolution of Cultural Tourism and Heritage Site Management

Digital technologies are transforming cultural tourism and heritage management, particularly in historically rich cities like Hangzhou. A study reveals that tools such as AI, big data, blockchain, AR/VR, and green technologies enhance visitor experiences, operational efficiency, and sustainability while posing challenges to digital equity and authenticity preservation. This research, based on a systematic literature review of 85 sources narrowed to 9 key studies using the PRISMA framework, provides context-specific insights for sustainable, inclusive, and culturally grounded smart tourism in Chinese heritage cities.
