Abstract

Inter-regional tourism cooperation has emerged as a significant trend in tourism development, pivotal role in facilitating inter-regional economic exchanges and cultural integration. This study employs the theory of 'cross-border governance' to examine the historical development and progression of the Bay Area. By conducting an analysis of the typology and spatial distribution of tourism resources, this study proposes a pioneering model for fostering multilateral cooperation in the field of tourism, with a particular focus on the Pearl River coastal city belt. It scrutinizes regional tourism cooperation from various perspectives including formulation of tourism policies, construction of the tourism industry, complement tourism production factors, establishment of tourist capital and talent, design and marketing strategies for tourist products. Furthermore, it advocates for policy exchange, market, and cross-border governance as essential components to establish a cooperative guarantee mechanism while providing pertinent recommendations for regional tourism cooperation within the bay area.
