The Application of Virtual Reality Technology in the Coordination and Interaction of Regional Economy and Culture in the Sustainable Development of Ecotourism

Abstract

Under the background of the new normal economy, ecotourism maintains a good momentum of development. Therefore, it can be foreseen that industrial integration is an inevitable trend in the development of contemporary industries, and the integration of cultural industries and tourism industries will bring good effects to regional economic development. In order to fully study the impact of ecotourism and its applied technologies on regional economy and culture, this paper proposes research on the application of virtual reality technology in the coordination and interaction of regional economy and culture in the sustainable development of ecotourism. The approach of this paper is to study VR technology in digital tourism and then to evaluate the sustainability of ecotourism and economic culture. The role of these methods is to study the interaction process between the tourism industry, regional economy, and cultural industry. It explores the law of action between the three so as to achieve the purpose of system optimization. Taking Henan Province, China, as an example, this paper discusses the application of virtual reality technology in ecotourism and studies the impact of ecotourism on economy and culture. The experimental results show that the average value of ecotourism-economic-cultural coordination degree in Henan Province is 0.399, and it is urgent to apply virtual reality technology in ecotourism.

Systematic review of strategies for rural tourism regeneration in the post-epidemic era-the case of mainland China

“…By 2021, China's technology has been able to realize AR visuals in 10,000 square meters of outdoor space (Liu & Zhou, 2021), which could create immersive effects (Lv, 2020) and means China's rural areas can adopt the way of Brabant town t o carry out AR activities in broad areas. Also, traditional skills such as clay sculpture and embroidery, can attract more visitors by combining with AR (Huang & Wang, 2022).…”

Development of guiding virtual reality at the Sultanate Palace in North Maluku as cultural tourism content

“…Virtual reality is a powerful and exciting technology that aims to mimic the real world with a computer-generated environment and engage all the senses (Hsiao et al, 2021;Huang &;Wang, 2022). Many types of virtual reality have been formed, such as digital heritage, training simulations, virtual concerts, and others (Monterroso-checa et al, 2020;Samah et al, 2021).…”

“…In virtual reality, there is a part that we often call a virtual tour because it has virtual reality elements, namely virtual navigation of landscapes that exist in the real world (Gössling, 2020;Huang & Wang, 2022;Ma, 2021). Virtual tours are technology to simulate a location, usually using video or images.…”
