Abstract
Based on theories of industrial integration and related frameworks, this paper explores the integration of tourism and the low-altitude economy through literature review and case study methods. The two sectors share a solid foundation for integration, with significant potential for synergy in product development, market expansion, and industrial organization. Integration is driven by enterprise collaboration, academia-industry partnerships, and multi-stakeholder coordination. Adhering to the principles of sustainable development is of great significance for promoting industry integration and long-term development. Future efforts should focus on applying new technologies, expanding into international markets, tracking policy developments, and engaging in interdisciplinary research, thus providing stronger support for the growth of this emerging industry.
