With an in-depth understanding of daily life and traditional customs, who could better represent their hometowns than locals themselves.

Tourism has played a crucial role in boosting the economy and enhancing social living standards. The interaction between locals and tourists helps shape first impressions to directly influence service ratings.

Promoting the "local ambassador" image is essential for developing the economy and improving tourism service quality.
