Research on the coupling coordination between tourism development and rural sustainable development in minority areas
The coupling and coordinated development of tourism and rural sustainable development is an impor-tant measure to promote the development of ethnic areas.Taking ethnic areas from 2010 to 2020 as the research ob-ject,this paper studies the coupling coordination degree between tourism development and rural sustainable devel-opment in ethnic areas by means of entropy weight method,TOPSIS evaluation model and coupled coordination model,and explores the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics and influencing factors based on Dagum Gini coef-ficient,Kernel estimation and Tobit model.The results show that:(1)The coupling coordination degree between tourism development and rural sustainable development in minority areas has increased steadily,showing the evolu-tion characteristics from forced coordination to primary coordination;(2)The regional difference of the coupling coordination degree between tourism development and rural sustainable development in ethnic areas is higher in the northwest and lower in the southwest,and the overall gap is gradually narrowing;(3)Economic development,in-vestment intensity,industrial structure optimization and policy support significantly drive the coupling and coordina-tion between tourism development and rural sustainable development in ethnic areas.
