摘要

Abstract

The intersection between rapid technological advancement and global population aging has created a new paradigm for the development of aging services. In China

where the number of older adults has exceeded 280 million

digital transformation is increasingly recognized as a key driver of innovation in the aging industry. This paper explores how the integration of smart technologies and experience innovation can enhance the quality

inclusiveness

and sustainability of senior living tourism. Dalian

a coastal city in northeastern China

provides a representative case for analyzing how digital platforms

intelligent data systems

and immersive cultural experiences can reshape traditional wellness tourism into a human-centered ecosystem. Drawing on international practices from Japan

Germany

and Finland

this study identifies three major development paths: the establishment of integrated intelligent service platforms

the personalization of wellness and lifestyle management

and the creation of interactive and emotionally engaging community experiences. A Smart Aging Tourism Integration Framework is proposed to align technology

service design

and social participation

offering practical insights for policymakers and industry practitioners who seek sustainable innovation in the emerging silver economy.
