Longmen Grottoes wins UNWTO award

The Longmen Grottoes, known for their ancient Buddhist cave art, have won an award for innovation in public policy and governance from the United Nations World Tourism Organization. The attraction received the award for its "Internet+Longmen" action plan at the 14th UNWTO Awards ceremony held in Madrid, Spain, earlier this month, the Longmen Grottoes Cultural Heritage Park said on Thursday. Launched in July, 2015, the plan took advantage of new technology such as big data, artificial intelligence and computer clouding and developed an internet-based travel pattern within the park.
