This study explores the adapted identity of domestic migrant workers within China's intangible cultural heritage (ICH) tourism sector. Domestic migration has become a significant feature of China's socioeconomic landscape, particularly in the context of the rapidly expanding tourism industry that focuses on preserving and promoting intangible cultural heritage. The research employs a qualitative approach, including in-depth interviews and participant observation, to understand how these migrant workers negotiate their identities amid the socio-economic and cultural pressures of their work environment. The findings highlight the complex interplay between personal identity, work roles, and cultural heritage, revealing both the challenges and opportunities faced by migrant workers in this sector.
