Abstract

With the rapid development of the immersive service scenarios, the practical problems of the tourism industry have gradually undergone qualitative changes, and the core contradiction has changed from the simple "tourism attraction" to the more complex "tourism experience quality" problem. In the process of "immersive experience", "emotion" plays a powerful guiding role in the immersive scenarios design, guiding tourists to real-time interaction, immersive and emotional resonance. Therefore, emotional experience has become the key in the development of immersive service scenarios. This study collects the data of tourists in Wenheyou through a questionnaire of tourists' emotional experience test, and discusses the tourists' emotional experience needs, effects and improvement strategies under the background of the three-stage characteristics of immersive scenarios and emotional interaction. Tourists' emotional experience and Word frequency by ROST CM (ROST Content Mining System) 6.0, was employed for data analysis. The study elucidates that within the Wenheyou immersive service scenarios, the physical service environment, cultural stimuli, and service products serve as primary catalysts for fostering positive emotional experiences among tourists. Drawing on psychological theories and utilizing the PANAS (Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule) scale and Robert Plutchik's emotion wheel model, the research delves into tourists' emotional experiences within the Wenheyou immersive service scenarios. It identifies key factors shaping positive and negative emotional experiences, offering valuable insights for service enterprises to enhance tourists' emotional quality.
