  "summary": "The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced an ambitious initiative to integrate artificial intelligence with heritage sites in order to enhance the tourism experience for international visitors. The project, which involves three tech startups, aims to use generative AI, location-based audio guides, and automated booking platforms to modernize traditional Korean wellness and Buddhist heritage sites. This move addresses a significant challenge faced by overseas tourists who often struggle with language barriers and complex reservation systems when exploring cultural assets in Seoul. By leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies, the city hopes to bridge the gap between traditional Korean practices and the needs of international tourists, ultimately providing a more seamless and immersive cultural experience.",
