Abstract

Red tourism, centered on historical sites of the Chinese revolution, serves as an educational tool that reinforces historical memory and patriotism among young people. Through a systematic literature review (PRISMA method), this research examines how red tourism meets learning needs regarding political culture by integrating tourism with education to enhance its pedagogical value. The important role of red tourism in patriotic education and the formation of national identity among Chinese youth is highlighted, although challenges such as the risk of political indoctrination and the lack of diversity in educational approaches are identified. The study proposes applying constructivist theories to improve the interactivity and effectiveness of red tourism in youth education and suggests integrating emerging technologies to enrich the educational experience.
