Empowering Tourism: Shared Power Banks for Sustainable Tourism Development in North America

Abstract

This paper explores the transformative role of shared power banks in North American tourism. As electronic devices become indispensable for travelers and sustainable tourism gains momentum, shared power banks emerge as a solution to address charging needs while fostering local economies and enriching visitor experiences. The study analyzes the economic and cultural impact of shared power banks. These devices not only generate revenue through rentals and advertising but also promote local products and cultural attractions, enhancing the overall tourist experience. A user behavior survey conducted by us highlights attitudes toward shared power banks. While adoption is growing, users appreciate the convenience and stress reduction they offer, despite concerns about cleanliness and security. Successful case studies from tourist destinations worldwide, like Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area and Gallerian shopping mall in Sweden, demonstrate the positive effect of shared power banks on engagement and prolonged stays. The paper envisions the future of shared power banks, leveraging intelligent integration, digital services, mobile apps, and emerging tech to enhance user experiences and responsible travel behavior. Collaborative initiatives among authorities, enterprises, and service providers are vital for sustainable tourism progress. In summary, shared power banks present an innovative solution to bolster North American tourism by providing convenience, boosting local economies, and embracing sustainability. These devices are poised to reshape tourist destinations significantly.
