Abstract
Technological advances and the Internet's rapid development have fueled the rapid rise of Internet celebrity cities, providing a unique impetus to urban development (mainly tourism) and economic vitality. However, the ensuing controversies have been persistent. In order to promote a thriving urban tourism industry and alleviate urban economic and employment pressures, it is essential to address the issue of Internet celebrity cities and fully realize their economic and social potential. This study summarizes the multiple problems in the operation of traditional Internet celebrity cities, reveals their challenges to urban management, and proposes ways to build a digital Internet celebrity city system using "digital" technologies. These digital tools can effectively overcome the difficulties faced by traditional Internet celebrity cities and provide strategic guidance for the long-term and healthy development of the Internet celebrity city economy.
