The Global Cultural Tourism RWA Development Summit, co-hosted by Ningbo Century Prosperity Tourism Development Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Blockchain Technology Application Association, and Hong Kong Dayou Technology Co., Ltd., concluded on August 17 in Hong Kong. The summit was themed 'Linking the World with Chains: Empowering a New Ecology for Cultural Tourism RWA', bringing together policy pioneers, academic authorities, and industry craftsmen to decode how the cultural tourism industry can leverage RWA to break through asset liquidity challenges and achieve global circulation through the innovative model of 'cross-border data + asset on-chain' with Chinese characteristics.
Blessing cultural exports: Blockchain reshaping cultural tourism scenarios.
Huang Shuicai, Chairman of Ningbo Century Prosperity Tourism Development Co., Ltd., announced at the summit that the Caishen Valley will rely on RWA technology to promote the globalization strategy of Caishen cultural IP. The project will first launch limited edition NFTs designed with cultural elements such as Caishen liquor and the treasure basin, serving as an 'ecological key' to connect global users; at the same time, part of the chairman's personal equity returns and cultural collectibles will be compliant tokenized, issuing cross-border tradeable digital rights certificates to attract fragmented international capital injection. To achieve a symbiotic experience of virtual and real, Caishen Valley plans to develop metaverse virtual land tokens, where holders can unlock offline scenic area privileges and other integrated rights. Huang Shuicai emphasized that this strategy is based on the compliant channel in Hong Kong, strictly adhering to the cross-border regulatory framework, and through the model of 'cultural assets on-chain - global capital connection - virtual and real experience closed-loop', it not only solves the liquidity dilemma of traditional cultural tourism assets but also allows the Eastern values carried by Caishen culture to set sail through digital finance.
The signing of the Caishen Universe Ecology marks the launch of China's cultural tourism RWA globalization breakthrough.
Ningbo Century Prosperity Tourism Development Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Blockchain Technology Application Association, and Hong Kong Dayou Technology Co., Ltd. are building a 'Capital-Technology-Finance' iron triangle to jointly promote global cultural tourism RWA strategic cooperation. Guests jointly initiated a golden handprint, announcing the launch of the world's first 'Aggregated Caishen NFT' ecosystem. Relying on the Anome Protocol technology framework, the project plans to be listed on Binance Exchange in 2026 and establish a compliant stablecoin system worth tens of billions, creating a new paradigm for Eastern wealth culture through the 'NFT + GameFi + RWA' integration model.
Global debut of the Three-tier Penetration Model for Cultural Tourism RWA.
Zheng Dingxiang, Chairman of the Hong Kong Blockchain Technology Application Association, announced the 'Three-tier Penetration Model for Cultural Tourism RWA', constructing a new paradigm for cross-border circulation based on Hong Kong's super hub advantages. This model transforms physical assets like scenic area revenues into on-chain tokens through equity penetration; achieves real-time on-chain operation information through data penetration, establishing a dual-track mechanism for domestic ownership locking and offshore token circulation via Hong Kong VASP licenses; and connects decentralized trading pools through circulation penetration to realize global liquidity release. Chairman Zheng emphasized that RWA needs to transcend its positioning as a financing tool, returning to the essence of productivity improvement, and promoting compliant globalization of cultural tourism assets through on-chain trust mechanisms, building a sustainable channel for global capital to share cultural dividends. This model provides a methodological operations manual for cultural tourism IP represented by Ningbo Shangjin Caishen Valley, pushing cultural tourism RWA from conceptual validation to large-scale implementation.
Policy, technology, and capital jointly empower RWA to activate a new ecology for cultural tourism assets.
National Committee Member Luo Zhuojian (Stephen Law) made an appearance at the summit, linking Hong Kong's mature financial regulatory system, open capital environment, and efficient cross-border data flow mechanism from the perspective of 'builders of Hong Kong's international financial hub', providing a sustainable pathway for mainland cultural tourism assets to leap into the global ocean via Hong Kong. Renowned economist Yao Jingyuan, in his keynote speech on 'Digital Asset Construction and Cultural Tourism Innovation', systematically outlined the development landscape of cultural tourism RWA in China, emphasizing that cultural tourism RWA needs to be deeply integrated into the national digital economy strategy, while the regulatory framework under Hong Kong's 'One Country, Two Systems' provides a compliance foundation for cross-border asset circulation. Policy dividends will accelerate the release of liquidity in cultural tourism assets worth hundreds of billions. Hong Ziqing analyzed the investment window for cultural tourism RWA, pointing out that cultural tourism assets with cultural scarcity and stable cash flow are becoming the preferred choice for anti-inflation allocation, and early investors are likely to capture significant annual yield premiums.
Qu Qiang proposed an innovative solution to break through the temporal and spatial dependence challenges of cultural tourism assets by integrating geographic location verification and privacy protection mechanisms through spatial-time blockchain technology, providing efficient on-chain mapping capabilities for heritage digitization. Tan Shuilian analyzed the implementation path of RWA for listed companies, verifying the positive cycle of 'assets on-chain - liquidity release - market value growth' through cases such as the tokenization of charging pile and photovoltaic power station revenue rights. The TBC public chain showcased underlying facilities designed specifically for RWA, with its high throughput and low-friction architecture compatible with Bitcoin's security model and smart contract functionality, providing fundamental support for fragmented trading of cultural tourism assets and second-level settlement. Elites from various sectors conducted a comprehensive analysis from policy opportunities, capital allocation, technological challenges to implementation pathways, anchoring key markers for cultural tourism assets to achieve compliant globalization through RWA.
Roundtable Consensus: Hong Kong Empowers Mainland Cultural Tourism to Go Global
The conference actively responded to the central government's directive on 'telling China's story well and promoting cultural exports', with the roundtable forum focusing on 'practical methodology for mainland cultural tourism IP to leverage Hong Kong for global outreach'. Experts unanimously agreed that Hong Kong, with its unique regulatory framework and financial hub status, provides a compliant main channel for mainland cultural tourism assets to go global. By connecting international rules with China's unique cross-border data mechanisms, it systematically resolves the issues of asset identification, liquidity, and cross-border trust, promoting cultural assets to participate in global capital allocation in standardized digital rights forms, creating a new paradigm for cross-border circulation of cultural assets.
Conclusion
As the first cultural tourism project in mainland China that achieves global tokenization relying on the Hong Kong hub and standardized guidelines, the launch of the 'Caishen Universe Ecology' marks the beginning of standardized practices for cultural tourism RWA, laying a foundational path for the global circulation of super cultural IPs such as the Forbidden City and Dunhuang. When millennia-old cultural assets meet RWA, a revolution regarding the re-evaluation of cultural value and the reconstruction of capital flow has already set sail.
