"Everything can have ice cream." In a word, it can explain the circle effect of Wenchuang ice cream in recent years. Since the beginning of summer, the continuous high temperature in Guangdong has driven cold drinks, ice cream and other summer products into the sales season. In line with the new demand of consumption, Wenchuang ice cream has become a sharp weapon for cultural tourism consumption and a new highlight of summer economy because of its cultural connotation and eye-catching value.
Behind the popularity of Wenchuang ice cream is the effect created by the integration of scenic cultural IP and social attributes of consumption scenes, which has broad prospects in the future. Experts said that if Wenchuang ice cream is to change from "online celebrity" to "Long Red", it still needs to be improved in terms of taste technology, standard setting and IP realization to meet the new consumption upgrading needs of tourists.
