Abstract: Constructing the coupling index system on the tourism industry growth and new urbanization,using relevant statistical data in Xiangxi area from 1998 to 2014,and combined with the coupling coordination degree model,this paper analyzes temporal-spatial variation and formation mechanism of coupling coordination degree in Xiangxi area.Studies show that from 1998 to 2014,the coupling coordination level between tourism industry growth and new urbanization presented a rising trend in Xiangxi area,and the low coupling degree was the important factor to hamper the growth of the regional coupling coordination degree.Due to the influence of resource endowment,transportation conditions,system and industrial policies and other factors,the coupling coordination degree in Xiangxi area presented a better situation in the north than in the south.The gap in tourism industry growth is the main contributing factor for spatial variation of coupling coordination degree within the region.

Key words: Xiangxi area, tourism industry growth, new urbanization, coupling coordination degree, temporal-spatial variation
