Besides, the research use the concept of time-space-connections as a backdrop to explores the deep reasons why temples can attract the younger generation successfully. Guided by the theory of time-space-connections, we found that the deep reasons are the introduction of suitable products (temple tourism and additional products) at the right time (two periods: post-pandemic and after customer demand shifts) and in the right space (two types of spaces: temple space and the choice between online and offline spaces). Nowadays, with the booming of temple tourism, the author discusses the deep-seated reasons behind the popularity and how to combine offline experiences and public opinions to ignite temple tourism.
