Abstract

The vigorous development of the digital economy has put forward new requirements for the high-quality development of tourism. Based on an analysis of the characteristics and connotations of the "digital economy" and "high-quality development of tourism education", this study expounds the new requirements of the "digital economy" and "high-quality development" for tourism talents, and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions including strengthening research on tourism disciplines and tourism talents, promoting the coordinated development of tourism education and the tourism industry, and enhancing the construction of teaching staff under the background of the digital economy.
