Ltd.10.26689/pbes.v7i3.7476ArticleResearch on the Coupled and Coordinated Development of Tourism and Transport in Chongqing Municipalityhttps://artdesignp.com/journal/PBES/7/3/10.26689/pbes.v7i3.7476ShuMengmeng2024732024-07-10By examining the current status of tourism and transport research both domestically and internationally, and analyzing the development trends of Chongqing’s tourism and transport industry, this study evaluates the weight indices and performs a coupling and coordination analysis of various indicators of Chongqing’s tourism and transport industry from 2011 to 2019. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) The value of the comprehensive evaluation function for tourism is higher than that of the transport industry, indicating that Chongqing’s tourism industry is in a period of vigorous development; (2) The degree of coupling coordination development between Chongqing’s tourism and transportation industries from 2011 to 2019 is rising. As the coupling coordination stage continues to improve, the level of coupling coordination also improves, with the overall trend showing a progression from mild dysfunction to primary coordination. Based on these conclusions, corresponding countermeasures are proposed to promote the coupling coordination between tourism and transport in Chongqing, and suggestions are made for the overall improvement of the transport industry and the sustainable development of the tourism industry.
