Abstract

Tourism environment is the basis of sustainable development of tourism economy. Exploring the coupling relationship between tourism economy and ecological environment system can not only promote the construction of tourism ecological civilization, but also contribute to the sustainable development of tourism economy. Based on data from Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, from 2010-2019, this paper aims to introduce an indicator system and develop an integrated approach to assess the coupling and coordination between the tourism economy and the environment. The indicator system consists of 2 levels, 6 aspects, and 18 indicators, weighted by Entropy method. Based on the development status of Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan the PSR model framework of the coupling and coordination mechanism of tourism economy and ecological environment is constructed. Then, the coupled coordination degree of its tourism economy and ecological environment is evaluated, and the comprehensive evaluation index of the system is derived. Finally, suggestions for promoting the sustainable development of tourism and environment in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, are proposed.
