The integration of culture and tourism refers to the mutual penetration

cross-integration and reorganization of culture

tourism industry and related factors

so as to break through the—traditional industrial development boundary and form a new cultural and tourism industry format. The integration of culture and tourism not only satisfies the current young generation's fantasy of "poems" and "dreams"

but also plays a role in stimulating China's economic construction and promoting urban transformation and development. Therefore

this paper will research the role of cultural and tourism industry in promoting China's economic development and its specific implementation path

hoping to provide certain suggestions for local governments to develop cultural and tourism industry

promote the transformation and upgrading of urban industrial structure

and realize economic benefits.
