Innovative Design and Application of Ethnic Cultural and Creative Products: A Case Study of the Zhuang Fu Rui Cultural Dolls

The distinctive attire of the Zhuang ethnicity is the most direct expression of its folk culture. The positive development and utilization of ethnic costumes can significantly benefit Zhuang folk tourism. Incorporating elements of ethnic costume culture, such as patterns, colors, fabrics, and decorations, into modern design can enrich the ethnic cultural connotations of contemporary design practices. This research project, taking the Zhuang Fu Rui cultural dolls as a case study, discusses the integration and continuation of minority culture with modern design. By merging Zhuang costume culture with "Fu Rui" culture, the study explores the incorporation of traditional cultural elements into modern design, aiming to preserve and promote Zhuang culture. Additionally, the paper uses case analysis to deeply examine the role of cultural and creative products in the inheritance of Zhuang culture, suggesting that products combining Zhuang culture with Fu Rui culture can effectively facilitate the transmission and spread of traditional culture.

Effects of tourism resource search on folk sports project development fuzzy front-end performance: The moderating role of environmental dynamics change.

How to improve the success of new project development through the collection of resources in the preliminary stages of new project development is a new area of research. Given the speed and magnitude of changes in the folk sports market environment, this study analyses the impact of tapping folk tourism resources on sports projects at the project development stage. Through stratified regression analyses of 600 Chinese firms engaged in folk sports project development, this paper finds that tapping internal tourism resources positively affects the Fuzzy Front-End Performance of incremental innovative project development. In contrast, tapping external tourism resources positively affects the Fuzzy Front-End Performance of breakthrough innovation projects. The study also indicates that the speed of environmental change (SEC) positively moderates the relationship between exploring external tourism resources (ERS) and Fuzzy Front-End Performance of incremental innovation projects. In contrast, the magnitude of environmental change (MEC) negatively moderated the relationship between internal tourism resource exploration (IRS) and the FFE-P of similar projects.

Review of Research on Characteristic Tourism Resources Exploitation in Sichuan Province

With the rapid development of tourism in China's Sichuan Province, research on the development of tourism resources in Sichuan has drawn increasing attention from the academic community. This article briefly reviews three aspects of the literature on the development of tourism resources in Sichuan: a survey and evaluation of Sichuan tourism resources, the development of tourism resources that are characteristic of Sichuan, and the development of tourism resources in Sichuan. The current situation of the development of Sichuan's tourism resources was considered and seven factors were evaluated: tourism in ancient towns, tourism in ethnic areas, folk tourism, eco-tourism, rural tourism, red tourism and earthquake tourism. The article also addresses the development of tourism resources in Sichuan. Most existing studies of the development of tourism resources in Sichuan are based on applied research; they are deficient in both scope and depth, and cannot serve as a basis for the development of theory. Few studies have focused on market demand for tourism, the establishment of management mechanisms or the development of regional cooperation. In the future, tourism theories like space theory for space competition, RMP analysis theory, cultural ecology theory, and other tourism theories should be closely integrated with the development of tourism resources in Sichuan. Whether the subject matter is sustainable development, market demand, management mechanism construction, regional collaborative development or other concerns, this will allow more systematic, in-depth studies that produce improved results that are both pertinent and realistic.

Dynamic Relationship Between Tourism and Homogeneity of Tourist Destinations

With the increase in tourism, the size of domestic and foreign travel destinations has also begun to increase. However, this growth is accompanied by the homogenization of each scenic spot, which results in the convergence of destination image and declining competitiveness. To address this problem, this paper is based on the dynamic competition relationship between homogeneous folk tourism destinations studied using the evolutionary game theory of homogenous competition environment, and the dynamic relationship between the destinations is examined through research and analysis. This paper studies whether the tourist destination can take the model of tourists in the case of this homogenization and analyzes the countermeasures that should be taken. This paper provides reference for improving the destination revenue and efficient visitor management. We hope to further clarify the essence of the competitive relationship between the tourism destinations and to make the tourist destination more competitive. At the present, product homogenization is ubiquitous. Homogeneous area is related to the development of the differences of the same area tourism scenic area, as the development intensity is increasing; because of the common cultural background, resources and environment are somewhat shared in the production of large numbers of similar tourist destinations, and homogeneity is inevitable. Therefore, the potential negative impact of the brand tends to place the scenic spot in an awkward position. Tourism must satisfy the psychological needs of tourists to seek something new and different. Difference development must begin from regional overall planning to such factors as the similar resources type, characteristic, formation, structure, and distribution. By careful and detailed investigation, examining the scenic spot’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges enables the evaluation of the system. We observe the breakthrough of “scientific development, resource complementation, mutual dependence, and common development” of homogenization of a tourist destination. Construction connotation differences from a tourist orientation leads to more comprehensive enjoyment of the high homogeneity of the scenic area and makes use of similar resources in tourist destinations due to changes in the environment and function of innovation of tourists’ recognition.
