Abstract
Based on a total of 16 indicators selected from the tourism and transport industries, an evaluation index system of the coupling and coordination development level of tourism and transport is constructed. The entropy value method and the coupling coordination degree model are used to conduct an empirical study on the development level and coupling coordination level of the transport and tourism industries in Chengdu City from 2011 to 2020. The results show that, on the whole, the coupling coordination degree of transport and tourism in Chengdu is poor and has been in a state of mild to moderate dysfunction. The development level of tourism lagged behind the development of transport from 2011 to 2012, and the two were in a state of mild dysfunction. However, from 2013 onwards, the development level of tourism was prioritized over the development level of transport. This shift caused the coupling coordination degree of the two industries to decline sharply to 0.23305 in 2013. The development level of the tourism industry increased again, reaching 0.34206 in 2019, which marked an improvement. Consequently, the coordination degree of the transport and tourism industries evolved from moderate dislocation to mild dislocation. Finally, the results of the empirical research are analyzed, and corresponding suggestions are put forward to promote the sustainable growth of the transport and tourism industries in Chengdu City. These suggestions aim to improve the coupled and coordinated development level of the two industries.
