Exploring the spatial coupling relationship and interaction mechanism between green urbanization (GU) and tourism competitiveness (TC) is of great significance for promoting urban sustainable development. However, the lack of research on the interaction mechanism between GU and TC limits the formulation of effective environmental management policy and urban planning. Taking 734 counties in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) as the study area, this paper analyzes the spatial coupling relationship between GU and TC on the basis of comprehensive evaluation of GU and TC. Then, the interactive mechanism between GU and TC is systematically discussed, and the synergistic development strategy of the two is proposed. The results show that the GU level presents a multicore circle structure, with provincial capitals, prefecture-level urban districts and economically developed counties in east-central regions as high-value centers. The TC at county scale presents a multi-center spatial structure. Additionally, there is a significant positive spatial coupling between GU and TC in the YRB. The analysis further reveals that green urbanization level, social progress, population development, infrastructure construction, economic development quality, and eco-environmental protection has a observably influence on TC. Tourism competitiveness, service competitiveness, location competitiveness, resource competitiveness, market competitiveness, environmental influence, and talent competitiveness has a observably influence on GU. TC can promote GU, and the improvement of green urbanization level can support the development of tourism competitiveness. According to the spatial zoning method, 734 counties are divided into 6 categories, and the coordinated development strategy of GU and TC for each type of district is proposed.
探究绿色城镇化（GU）与旅游竞争力（TC）之间的空间耦合关系及相互作用机制，对促进城市可持续发展具有重要意义。然而，目前对绿色城镇化与旅游竞争力相互作用机制的研究不足，限制了有效环境管理政策的制定和城市规划。本文以黄河流域（YRB）的734个县为研究区域，在对绿色城镇化和旅游竞争力进行综合评价的基础上，分析二者的空间耦合关系。然后，系统探讨绿色城镇化与旅游竞争力的互动机制，并提出二者的协同发展策略。结果表明，绿色城镇化水平呈现多核圈层结构，以省会城市、地级市辖区以及中东部经济发达县为高值中心。县域尺度的旅游竞争力呈现多中心空间结构。此外，黄河流域绿色城镇化与旅游竞争力之间存在显著的正向空间耦合关系。分析进一步揭示，绿色城镇化水平、社会进步、人口发展、基础设施建设、经济发展质量和生态环境保护对旅游竞争力有显著影响。旅游竞争力、服务竞争力、区位竞争力、资源竞争力、市场竞争力、环境影响力和人才竞争力对绿色城镇化有显著影响。旅游竞争力能够促进绿色城镇化，绿色城镇化水平的提高能够支撑旅游竞争力的发展。根据空间分区方法，将734个县分为6类，并针对每类区域提出绿色城镇化与旅游竞争力的协调发展策略。
