Abstract
ABSTRACT The study investigates the interplay between the tourism economy and technological innovation in China’s coastal provinces and cities, uncovering the dynamics of regional and sub-regional coupling and coordination from 2014 to 2022. Empirical findings indicate that the overall degree of coupling coordination among 11 coastal provinces and cities exhibited a rising trend from significant imbalance to good coordination from 2014 to 2019, but underwent fluctuations due to the impact of COVID-19 from 2020 to 2022. Sub-regional analysis reveals dynamic changes in coastal provinces and cities such as the Yangtze River Delta, Bohai Rim, and Pearl River Delta, highlighting the coupling, coordination, and competition between tourism economy and technological innovation in these economic zones. The results suggest that regional alliances can be established to promote the integration of tourism economic development with technological innovation in China’s coastal areas, while emphasizing active support measures by local and central governments for long-term development.
