High-tech driving growth for traditional culture sector

High-tech is driving new growth for the traditional Chinese culture industry as it strives to transform amid an upgrade in consumer demand.

Shenzhen-based culture and tourism giant OCT Group said it plans to acquire a number of cultural theme parks across the country worth 100 billion yuan ($15.8 billion) within the next three years, further activating the entertainment market by introducing virtual reality and other modern technologies into the projects.

It is also promoting the use of high-tech in other cultural projects, with a focus on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
