In order to promote the integrated development of first,secondary and tertiary industries and the transfor-mation and upgrading of Chinese medicine industry,there is an urgent need to study and analyze the integration and coor-dination status of Chinese medicine industry and tourism.Based on the theory of industrial integration,this paper selects relevant data from Anhui Province from 2010 to 2020 and uses the coupling coordination degree model and grey correlation analysis to assess the coupling development relationship between the Chinese medicine industry and the tourism industry in Anhui Province as well as the factors influencing the coupling of the two industries.Results show that Anhui Province's Chinese medicine industry and tourism industry are at a high coupling and intermediate level of coordination,with an o-verall stable upward trend,and the coupling development of the two is most influenced by the number of A-grade or above tourist attractions,sales of Chinese herbal medicine and proprietary Chinese medicine,and production of proprietary Chi-nese medicine.Therefore,Anhui Province needs to improve the relevant policy support,build a platform for industrial in-tegration;give full play to regional advantages,create a distinctive brand;optimize the infrastructure,enhance the level of public services to promote the integration of the traditional Chinese medicine industry and tourism development.At the same time,it provides new ideas for the modernization and development of traditional Chinese medicine industry and the transformation and upgrading of tourism industry in Anhui Province.
