Study on Coupling and Coordination of Tourism Dependence and Economic Development in Western China
The coordinated development between tourism dependence and the regional economy is an important issue in the sustainable development of tourism.This paper takes ten provinces and autonomous regions in western China except Xizang and Chongqing as research objects,and constructs an evaluation index system of tourism dependence and economic development.The entropy method and the coupling coordination degree model were used to make an empirical analysis of the tourism dependence degree,economic development level and the coupling coordination relationship between the two systems in ten provinces and autonomous regions of western China from 2015 to 2019.The research results show that:the tourism dependence and comprehensive economic development level of ten provinces and autonomous regions in western China all show an increasing trend year by year,and there are obvious differences in regional development,and the characteristics of spatial imbalance are obvious.In the past five years,the coupling state of tourism dependence and economic development of ten provinces and autonomous regions is in the antagonistic stage,the coupling coordination degree of the two is weak,and the promotion effect of tourism dependence on economic development is not obvious.
