Abstract
As the global economic landscape evolves, the digital economy becomes a central domain, gradually deepening and widening its confluence with diverse fields. This study aims to systematically explain the intricacies and dynamics of the amalgamation of the digital economy with tourism within the Yellow River Basin. The study builds an evaluative framework based on integrative development mechanisms; this study measures the combined development between the tourism industry and the digital economy between 2011 and 2021. After this quantification, it delves into their unified growth spatiotemporal nuances and discerns impediments based on an obstacle degree analysis. As far as development is concerned, a paradigm of “dual-track convergence” is observed in the Basin, showcasing the gradual ascension of digitalization and diversification of tourism. Regarding the coupling coordination degree (CCD), the nexus between the two exhibits temporal dynamics of a “spiral ascent followed by a transient descent” and a spatial “U-shaped differentiation,” undoubtedly reflecting the vivacity and heterogeneity inherent in their integration.Regarding impediments, the analysis reveals a multifaceted dynamism of barriers across various strata. Systemically, the tourism sector encounters escalating hindrances, with digital infrastructure and market breadth constituting predominant sectoral bottlenecks. On the indicator plane, critical limiting factors include tourism's foreign exchange earnings, the influx of inbound tourists, the proliferation of web pages, e-commerce turnover, and the count of corporate entities within the software and information technology services domain. This study is based on the theory of collaborative development and offers nuanced recommendations by dissecting the co-progress of tourism and the digital economy. The insights tendered herein profoundly impact China and the global community in fostering the common proliferation in both fields.
