Abstract

The integration of agriculture and tourism industry promotes industrial transformation and upgrading, which is not only conducive to the sustainable development of the industry, but also of great significance to rural revitalisation. Taking the 26 cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomeration as an example, we constructed an evaluation index system for the development level of agriculture and tourism based on the "input-output" method, and used the entropy method and the coupling coordination degree model to calculate the industrial development level of agriculture and tourism in the 26 cities in the YRD urban agglomeration from 2015 to 2019, and the level of integration of agriculture and tourism industries. and the integration level of agriculture and tourism industry. It is found that the industrial development levels of agriculture and tourism in the 26 cities of the Yangtze River Delta city cluster from 2015 to 2019 show a slow upward trend, and the development level of integration of agriculture and tourism industries is steadily increasing. By 2019, 10 cities' agriculture and tourism industry integration levels are in the coordinated stage; among them, Hangzhou City and Shanghai City's agriculture and tourism industry integration levels are ranked in the top 2 places respectively, in the preliminary coordinated stage, while Taizhou City and Tongling City's agriculture and tourism industry integration levels are ranked in the last 2 places, in the mildly dysfunctional stage. Based on the above research results, countermeasures and suggestions to promote the integrated development of agriculture and tourism industry will be put forward from 3 aspects: inter-industry differences, inter-regional differences, and government policy support.
