Abstract: Taking Shennongjia Forestry District in Hubei Province as the research object, based on the time series data of rural tourism and characteristic agriculture from 2008 to 2019, the coupling degree of rural tourism and characteristic agriculture in Shennongjia Forestry District was analyzed using methods such as entropy weight method, coupling degree model and coupling coordination degree model. The results showed that from 2008 to 2019, the comprehensive evaluation index of rural tourism and characteristic agriculture in Shennongjia Forestry District showed an overall upward trend, and the development speed of rural tourism was faster than that of characteristic agriculture; the coupling degree of the two systems had developed from medium to high correlation, indicating that the trend of rural tourism and characteristic agriculture in Shennongjia Forestry District was consistent, and the coupling effects of the two systems was strong; the coupling coordination degree was currently at the primary coupling coordination stage, and the coupling coordination needed to be strengthened. Finally, some countermeasures and suggestions were proposed to further promote the coordinated development of rural tourism and characteristic agriculture in Shennongjia Forestry District.

Key words: rural tourism, characteristic agriculture, coupling coordination, Shennongjia Forestry District
