ABSTRACT

This paper aims to deeply explore the theoretical basis and practical strategies of tourism guiding regional economic development, and to provide scientific theoretical guidance and practical guidance for local governments and tourism developers. Based on the concept and characteristics of tourism economy, this paper systematically combs the theory of regional economic development and deeply analyzes the mechanism of tourism guiding regional economic development. On this basis, the paper further discusses the regional economic development model guided by tourism, and puts forward some strategies and suggestions, such as innovating tourism products and services, strengthening policy support and planning guidance, promoting regional cooperation and industrial integration, and strengthening community participation and benefit sharing. Research shows that tourism, as an important part of the modern economic system, has obvious characteristics of comprehensiveness, seasonality and fluctuation, and can promote regional economic development through various mechanisms such as consumption-driven, employment creation and investment attraction. At the same time, the regional economic development model guided by tourism needs the joint efforts of the government, enterprises, communities and other aspects to realize the sustainable development of tourism and the overall improvement of regional economy.
