The Importance of Wikitourism and the Collision of Cultural Exchange


I. Definition and Characteristics of Wikitourism


Wikitourism, as the name implies, refers to the search, planning and sharing of tourism information with the help of open online platforms such as Wikipedia. Its characteristics are the openness, sharing and real-time nature of information. Anyone can contribute and edit tourism information for the Wikitourism platform, making it a comprehensive information library that brings together global tourism resources, culture and history.


II. Display of Cultural Diversity


Wikitourism provides tourists with a window to understand different cultures, histories and traditions by collecting, collating and displaying tourism information from all over the world. From European classical art to traditional festivals in Asia, from primitive tribes in Africa to natural scenery in the Americas, Wikitourism fully demonstrates cultural diversity.


III. Promotion of Tourism Resources


Wikitourism not only provides tourists with rich tourism information, but also promotes the promotion of tourism resources. Many previously unknown attractions and cultural heritages have been understood and paid attention to by more people through the dissemination of the Wikitourism platform, thus promoting the development of local tourism.


4. Platform for cross-cultural communication


As an open information platform, Wikitravel provides a space for people from different cultural backgrounds to communicate and interact. Here, they can share their travel experiences, views and insights, and learn and understand other cultures, thereby enhancing mutual understanding and respect.


5. Real-time update of tourism information


Since the information on Wikitravel is edited and updated by users in real time, it can reflect the latest developments and changes in tourist destinations in a timely manner. This is very valuable for tourists because they can obtain the latest travel information and better plan their itineraries.


6. Promote cultural understanding and respect


Through Wikitravel, tourists can have a deeper understanding of the background and connotation of different cultures, thereby cultivating understanding and respect for different cultures. This understanding and respect not only helps to reduce cultural conflicts and misunderstandings, but also promotes exchanges and integration between different cultures.


7. Analysis of the impact on the tourism industry


Wikitravel has a positive impact on the tourism industry. It improves the transparency and accessibility of tourism information, allowing tourists to obtain the information they need more conveniently. At the same time, it also promotes the balanced development of tourism resources, allowing some relatively unpopular attractions to be discovered and promoted.


8. Future Development and Outlook


With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the strengthening of the trend of globalization, Wiki Travel has broad prospects for development. In the future, it will continue to improve the construction of the information platform and improve the accuracy and reliability of information; at the same time, it will also strengthen cooperation with the tourism industry to promote the innovation and development of the tourism industry. In addition, with the application of artificial intelligence and big data technology, Wiki Travel will also achieve more intelligent information recommendation and personalized services, providing tourists with a more convenient and efficient travel experience.


In summary, Wiki Travel plays an important role in displaying cultural diversity, promoting tourism resources, and promoting cross-cultural exchanges. It not only provides tourists with rich tourism information and services, but also promotes the innovation and development of the tourism industry. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, Wiki Travel will continue to play its important role and contribute more to the development of cultural exchanges and tourism.

Introduction to the blog

 This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2024) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incorpora

W1.1 Intro class: intro to class, blog, wiki and other assignments——CHENG SHIYI

1. Summary  I have taken classes from you, the professor, before and have always been interested in Wikipedia, so I chose to take your class this semester regardless. I understand from your introduction to all the courses in the lecture that this semester's Collective Intelligence in Practice course is centered around Wikipedia, which I understand is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and that Wikipedia brings together knowledge from around the world. One of the quotes in your course syllabus is that Technocrati's chief technologist says that soon "Wiki-knowledge will be a required job skill." Wikipedia, a non-profit encyclopedic website, is ranked among the top 5 most popular websites in the world, all thanks to a little bit of contribution from volunteers in the world. I see from this that the Collective Intelligence in Practice program understands Collective Intelligence on the Internet through Wikipedia from a sociological perspective. There are many ways to st

1.Summary   Remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages the creation of derivative works through the editing of existing material, challenges exclusive copyright restrictions, promotes the idea of remixing, and facilitates the free flow of creativity. In Remix, Lessig describes the shift from a read-only culture to a read/write culture, where the advent of digital technology has redefined the way culture is created and distributed in ways that facilitate the interactive relationship between producers and consumers and democratize the production of ideas and the distribution of content. The history of remix culture dates back to the 19th century, e.g.: according to American media scholar Henry Jenkins, but the balance between creation and consumption shifted with the advancement of analog recording and reproduction technologies.The analog era of the early 20th century, with its specialized creative equipment and cheap consumer devices, led to the strengthening of proprietary c
