Abstract
The development of world-class tourism destinations is a key objective for China's cultural and tourism industry during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) and is essential for enhancing and upgrading tourist spots. This paper focuses on Guilin, China's first world-class tourism city that has been elevated to a national strategy. It initially establishes an index system to evaluate the high-quality development path of such a city. Using the entropy method and linear weighted functions, it quantitatively assesses Guilin's evolution as a world-class tourism city. From a configuration analysis perspective, it explores Guilin's high-quality development path and mechanisms. The study clarifies the concept, connotation, and evolutionary pattern of world-class tourism destinations, elucidates their high-quality development path and driving mechanisms, and offers policy insights for creating a replicable, referable, and promotable high-quality city tourism development model.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Tourism Research promotes and enhances research developments in the field of tourism. The journal provides an international platform for debate and dissemination of research findings whilst also facilitating the discussion of new research areas and techniques. IJTR continues to add a vibrant and exciting channel for those interested in tourism and hospitality research developments. The scope of the journal is international and welcomes research that makes original contributions to theories and methodologies. It continues to publish high quality research papers in any area of tourism, including empirical papers on tourism issues. The journal welcomes submissions based upon both primary research and reviews including papers in areas that may not directly be tourism based but concern a topic that is of interest to researchers in the field of tourism, such as economics, marketing, sociology and statistics. All papers are subject to strict double-blind (or triple-blind) peer review by the international research community.
