In this section, the digitalization strategies and approaches to scientific education and research activities of selected botanical gardens, identified within the context of botanical tourism, are examined.

Based on data obtained from official websites, the study explores the evolving roles of botanical gardens at both the global and national levels, their processes of technological adaptation, and their capacities for knowledge production. The findings derived from the research are analyzed, and a series of recommendations are presented accordingly.
