A Study on the Coupling Coordination of Urban Resilience and the Tourism Economy in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region

The high-quality economic growth of tourism is intimately related to a city's overall strength, and urban resilience is an important index to measure the comprehensive strength of a city. Therefore, determining how to enhance the construction of urban resilience, improve the quality of tourism development, and promote the coupling coordination of these two systems has attracted academic attention in recent years. Based on the panel data of 13 cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2010 to 2021, an entropy weight method, coupling coordination model, and obstacle degree model were used to analyze the coupling coordination degree, spatiotemporal evolution characteristics, and obstacle factors between urban resilience and the tourism economy. The results show the following: (1) Urban resilience and tourist economic development levels in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region show an overall upward trend, and both of them show obvious spatial differences. (2) The coupling coordination degree of urban resilience and the tourism economy shows a trend of first rising and then declining in the temporal dimension, while it shows a spatial differentiation pattern of "high in the middle and low in the surrounding area" in the spatial dimension. (3) The obstacle degree structure of the coupling coordination of urban resilience and the tourism economy in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is relatively stable, with economic resilience as the leading obstacle in the urban resilience system and tourist economic development benefits as the leading obstacle in the tourism economy system. In the future, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region needs to strengthen regional cooperation, enhance the driving role of central cities, continuously improve urban resilience, and promote the high-quality development of the tourism economy.
