The results of the study show: the participation in excellent traditional cultural programs can positively influence the audience's destination image perception; there are significant differences in destination image perception among different participation groups; the high participation group can construct a positive and significantly different destination image. Thus, combined with marketing theory from the perspective of marketing content, target market and marketing channels to provide some suggestions to achieve innovative marketing of tourism destinations.
