Research on the Strategic Path of Ecological Development of Shaoguan's Silver Economy: Based on the AHP-SWOT Model

This study is based on the realistic background that the aging rate in Shaoguan City is higher than the average level in Guangdong Province, and combined with the positioning of the ecological development zone in northern Guangdong, an AHP-SWOT analysis model is constructed. The research found that Shaoguan City has advantages such as superior ecological environment, rich cultural, tourism and health resources, and enhanced regional policy support, but it also faces challenges such as weak silver industry chain, lack of professional talents, and intensified regional competition. Based on this, this article proposes that precise policy guidance should be strengthened, regional cooperation should be deepened, especially integrated into the "health and tourism" system of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, rely on ecological advantages to develop characteristic health and wellness industries, strengthen the training and introduction of professional talents, and improve the supply of multi-level elderly care services, and ultimately build a sustainable development mechanism of "policy support-industry upgrading-stimulating consumption", providing theoretical reference and practical paths for the ecological development zone in northern Guangdong to cope with the challenges of aging and cultivate new economic momentum.
