Qin Zian's report was filled with comparisons between domestic and international tourists, enabling everyone to quickly understand how to better serve the corresponding tourist groups.

"Director Qin, your report is truly refreshing!"

The speaker was Director Liu of the Longguo Culture and Tourism Bureau. He had been working in the culture and tourism industry for more than 20 years, and the impact of Qin Zian's report on him was unprecedented.

Even without a fancy PowerPoint presentation, just lines of text, Director Liu still read it with great interest.

For no other reason than that Qin Zi'an's report was full of practical information, with almost no wasted words.

For Director Liu, Qin Zi'an was not planning a project, but rather outlining a grand blueprint for the cultural tourism industry of the Dragon Kingdom.

If this "culture and tourism+" project can be officially promoted, it will definitely make China's culture and tourism far ahead of other countries in the world.

Even though this new project is still just a draft, Director Liu is so confident about it.

This confidence stems not only from his appreciation and recognition of Qin Zian's report, but also from his professionalism accumulated over more than 20 years in the industry.

Faced with Director Liu's undisguised praise, Qin Zi'an simply smiled modestly and always regarded advancing the project as the top priority of the meeting.

"Director Liu, you flatter me. This project is not yet complete; the real challenges lie ahead. Going forward, we need everyone to pool their wisdom and strength, creating a powerful force to propel this project forward."

Qin Zi'an's humble words instantly warmed the hearts of the attendees and inspired their creativity.

Then, the participants began to whisper among themselves, discussing how to integrate their respective expertise into the project to make the concept of "culture and tourism+" more complete and comprehensive.

"Director Qin is right. We need to consider not only how to implement the concept of 'culture and tourism +', but also how to make it shine on the international stage. Although we talk about how great 'culture and tourism + technology' is, and how advanced VR and AR technologies are, these are already very common cultural and tourism projects in many places. If we transplant them into new projects, it's no different from reheating old rice."

"I don't know much about technology, but in terms of 'culture and tourism + education,' we really need to change our previous thinking and open up a series of edutainment cultural experiences instead of dry and boring cultural courses. In this way, foreign tourists should be subtly influenced and more willing to learn about, study, and promote the culture of our Dragon Kingdom. We should create immersive cultural experiences for foreign tourists, allowing them to feel as if they have traveled through time and space to personally experience the long history and splendid culture of the Dragon Kingdom."

"Through cross-industry collaborations, we can indeed introduce more diversified resources. But collaborations with well-known IPs... that's an expensive activity. Domestic IPs are easier to handle, but how many domestic IPs do foreign tourists know? In the end, to attract them, don't we still have to import foreign IPs?"

"Our Dragon Kingdom Cultural Tourism naturally promotes Dragon Kingdom culture, and there's no reason for us to go to great lengths to import foreign IPs and end up doing the work for their culture. However, we do need to pay close attention to funding. Especially for a large project like 'Culture Tourism+', the initial investment in personnel and funding will definitely be substantial."

"Compared to the perfection of the project, funding is simply insignificant. Looking at past examples of cultural tourism planning, we can clearly see that... as long as the cultural tourism project is outstanding, tourists will definitely come in a steady stream. Therefore, everyone should focus on the planning of the project and not talk about other things."

“Director Jiang is right. Project planning is always the focus, and I also have great respect for Director Qin’s report. But I have to say that the scope of the ‘culture and tourism+’ project is too broad, including technology, education, entertainment, and ecology... With such a small team, it is definitely impossible for us to advance all of them at the same time.”

As the discussion deepened, various novel ideas emerged, and the atmosphere of the meeting oscillated between building and overturning.

Some have suggested using big data to analyze tourist preferences and create personalized travel recommendations... but others have questioned whether this method is outdated and whether new projects need to be more innovative.

Some suggested collaborating with cross-border e-commerce platforms to launch unique cultural and creative products to meet tourists' shopping needs... while others felt that since foreign tourists were coming to China, everything should naturally focus on the real economy.

Some have suggested combining green and ecological concepts to create low-carbon and environmentally friendly tourism routes to attract more tourists who value sustainable development... while others feel that this is just a slogan and difficult to implement.

Even though the meeting lasted four or five hours, the participants conducted in-depth discussions and planning of the project from various perspectives.

But looking back, the progress of the new project was actually quite slow.

In the end, there was even a hint that they were going to scrap the project and start over.

As for Qin Zian, the person in charge of this project, he always sat at one end of the conference table, listening attentively to the opinions of each speaker.

It wasn't that Qin Zian wanted to take their ideas for free, but rather that he was the one who first proposed this project, and he already had the corresponding steps in mind.

He convened this meeting to see what ideas the participants had that could inject new vitality into the new project.

On the surface, the project appears to be stalled, with no resolution reached through discussion.
