On May 8, 2026, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism released the "Artificial Intelligence + Cultural Tourism" Action Plan (2026–2028), explicitly calling for accelerating the comprehensive integration of AI technology in the cultural tourism sector. An increasing number of red tourism destinations and travel agencies are exploring the use of AI technology to produce revolutionary history educational films — reducing content production costs while enhancing the dissemination efficiency of red culture.
1. Why This Type of Promotional Video Is Needed
Red tourism is an important vehicle for passing on the revolutionary spirit and promoting patriotism. Traditional text and image materials often exceed 30 pages and require frequent updates (for example, new brochures must be produced when new attractions open), whereas dynamic videos under 3 minutes achieve an average completion rate of over 65%, far surpassing the reading completion rate of static materials.
Type One: Official Promotions for Red Tourism Destinations
Revolutionary memorial halls and martyrs' memorial parks across the country need to publish the latest route recommendations on their official websites and social media. AI solutions can quickly generate standardized procedural explainer animations — featuring digital human presenters alongside historical photographs that illustrate the complete itinerary from "departure to return" — with a production cycle of just 2–3 days.
Type Two: Study Tour Product Promotion by Travel Agencies and Educational Institutions
Outbound travel agencies and school moral education teams need to showcase the features of red tourism routes to their clients or students. AI solutions can batch-generate red tourism guide video series for different regions and themes — such as "Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Tour" and "Yan'an Baota Mountain Red Education Camp" themed content.
2. Comparison of Main Technical Approaches
Type One: Pure AI Generation (Ideal for Zero-Cost Experimentation)
Use large language models to generate historical narrative scripts and storyboard descriptions, then use open-source video generation models to produce revolutionary site scene visuals, and finally import them into Jianying (CapCut) to add voiceover and subtitles. This workflow is entirely free and maintains a consistent style.
Type Two: AI + Live-Action Hybrid Workflow (Ideal for Formal Projects)
First use AI tools to generate a base animation framework and digital human presenter segments, then have professional designers refine key frames and create customized infographics. This approach enhances visual quality while maintaining efficiency. The cost is approximately 3,000–8,000 yuan per episode.
3. Tiered Pricing Reference
Basic Edition (3-minute red tourism animation per episode): 500–2,000 yuan per episode
Pure AI generation solution. Includes script creation, visual compositing, and voiceover editing. Suitable for routine promotional updates by tourist destinations.
Standard Edition (5–8 minute comprehensive themed video per episode): 3,000–10,000 yuan per episode
AI + manual hybrid workflow solution. Adds digital human presenter segments and customized infographic production. Suitable for study tour product promotion by travel agencies and educational institutions.
4. Content Compliance Considerations
First, content involving revolutionary history and heroic figures must ensure historical accuracy — it is recommended that Party history experts review scripts before submitting them for AI generation. Second, in accordance with the Labeling Measures, all AI-generated visuals must display the caption "This video was produced with artificial intelligence assistance" at the end of the video. Third, red tourism routes must be consistent with officially designated lists — fabricating or exaggerating historical events is prohibited.
5. Recommended Production Workflow
Step 1: Define the target audience and core theme (such as revolutionary sites or heroic figures in a specific region). Step 2: Compile Party history documents and materials as reference for AI script generation. Step 3: Use AI tools to generate the base animation framework and batch-produce visual assets — optionally interspersing footage from real scenic spots to enhance persuasiveness. Step 4: Import into editing software to add voiceover narration and subtitle packaging.
