Group 1: Industry Trends - The tourism industry is undergoing a silent yet profound transformation, with visitors seeking emotional resonance and social value in their experiences [1]. - The introduction of star NPCs not only enhances visitor engagement but also reflects the diversification of the performing arts ecosystem, providing new income sources for actors [2].

Group 4: Strategic Recommendations - Attractions need to establish safety mechanisms for star NPC interactions, including clear boundaries and on-site supervision to ensure orderly engagement [5]. - A comprehensive storytelling ecosystem should be developed, integrating star NPCs into a broader narrative framework that includes local actors and unique cultural elements [6]. - The focus should be on creating sustainable models that prioritize cultural essence and innovative experiences, transforming short-term visitor interest into long-term value [6].
