Abstract

Kaia and Jessica embarked on a fascinating research journey into the booming tourism photography trend in Mainland China in the summer of 2024. Visiting vibrant tourist cities, they noticed how this phenomenon was shaping local economies and tourism dynamics. Kaia and Jessica were both avid photographers, found this trend intriguing and decided to delve deeper. Guided by their insightful supervisor, Dr. Emily Chen, we explored the emotional and economic impacts of tourism photography. Their research journey was enriched by participating in competitions and conferences, where we gained practical insights and shared our findings. Despite challenges in data analysis, with Dr. Chen's support, the team overcame obstacles and honed their research skills. Looking ahead, they plan to explore the intersection of video games and tourism, continuing our quest for knowledge and innovation.
