All this suggests the cultural tourism field is showing strong recovery,which has sped up the mix of culture and tourism.However,the rapidly rising footfalls present new challenges for the museums,as they 第2页/共8页 「省域产品中心」 have to cater to the visitors'demand for special cultural services and take measures to support school research better. The Suzhou Museum in Jiangsu province offers an example of how museums can adapt to deal with the onrush of visitors.Firstly,the museums should expand their roles beyond the traditional field of education and research,and join the local tourism area.In 2007,the Suzhou Museum conducted a survey of visitors through a questionnaire,which showed thatthe most of the visitors were young well educated people who were very active on social media.And social media users intluence people s travel habits or decisions,giving rise to popular things such as"city walks".Based on this insight,the museum published a pocketbook providing information on both its collections and local tourist spots in Suzhou. Second,the application of digital technology can improve changes in the cultural area.Some museums have also found new ways of interacting with online visitors.3D virtual modeling and digitalized exhibitions can give visitors the chance to explore museums from a distance. Third,there is a growing trend of cross-border integration of cultural and educational resources.Politics encourage students to visit museums,improving their historical knowledge through school-related lessons. Last but not least,museums must also cater to elderly visitors,who make up over 20%of China's population.The Suzhou Museum carried out a survey of more than 800 people aged 60 or above through questionnaires and interviews last year to understand their preferences and develop age-friendly services. These include making places easy to reach,providing eniergency medical services,and displaying artworks in ways that reduce physical effort for all visitors.
