Coordinated Development of Tourism Economy and Ecological Environment Coupling in Mountainous Provinces: a Case Study of Guizhou.

The degree of coupling coordination can reflect the intensity of interaction between multiple-indicator system, and can characterize the harmonious and consistent degree of benign correlation between them. It is an effective measurement method for analyzing the level of coordinated development of tourism economy and ecological environment coupling. Guizhou, a mountainous province, is taken as the research object in this paper. Using entropy method and coupling coordination model, the coordinated development level of tourism economy and ecological environment coupling during 2011-2020 is measured and analyzed, and the coordinated development strategies for the tourism economy and ecological environment coupling in Guizhou, a mountainous province, are proposed.
