Low-altitude tourism and consumer applications are the areas of the low-altitude economy closest to people's daily lives. From drone aerial photography to low-altitude flight experiences, from scenic aerial tours to aviation theme parks, low-altitude tourism is becoming a new hotspot for consumption upgrades, injecting new growth momentum into the tourism industry.
Helicopter, hot air balloon, airship scenic tours
Wedding aerial photography, travel follow-shots, film aerial shots
Flight piloting experience, skydiving, paragliding
Aviation exhibitions, drone shows, model aircraft sports
Many places in China have launched low-altitude tourism projects:
With the gradual opening of low-altitude airspace and the maturity of eVTOL technology, low-altitude tourism will see explosive growth:
Drone formation light shows have become the "new favorite" for city celebrations and commercial events. Thousands of drones form various patterns and text in the sky, replacing traditional fireworks - both environmentally friendly and spectacular.
Typical Cases: Cities like Shenzhen, Changsha, and Chengdu have staged drone light shows with thousands of drones during New Year's Eve, National Day and other events, attracting hundreds of millions of online viewers.
eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft) is developing rapidly and will enable Urban Air Mobility (UAM) in the future, making "flying taxis" a reality. Chinese companies like EHang, XPeng AeroHT, and Autoflight are already global leaders, with commercial operations expected to be gradually realized from 2025-2030.
