The challenges involve: insufficient accumulation of core elements, urgent need to upgrade digital product supply, and lack of breakthroughs in operational model innovation. The proposed optimization pathways are: optimizing the allocation of element resources to consolidate the development foundation; advancing the deep integration of technology to enhance the supply quality of ethnic sports tourism products; and establishing digital service platforms to innovate business models for ethnic sports tourism.
