The coordinated development of heritage protection and tourism is the goal of both cultural heritage sites and sustainable heritage tourism. However, the development of sustainable heritage tourism can be restricted due to insufficient resources for heritage tourism marketing as well as insufficient cultural heritage protection measures. This study uses digital methods such as oblique photography, 3D laser scanning technology and panoramic technology to digitize the cultural landscape heritage site. Using these methods, we build a virtual tourism subsystem to improve tourists’ experience of cultural heritage tourism resources and enhance the attraction of cultural heritage tourism. In addition, we build a tourist flow and environmental monitoring and management subsystem based on the Internet of Things technology. This subsystem can help managers adjust and regulate tourist flow according to the tourism carrying capacity threshold. We also conduct an ecological environment health assessment and management simulation according to the “Pressure-Status- Response” model, in doing so, we aim to enhance the protection of cultural heritage sites. Finally, we develop a comprehensive platform to integrate tourism marketing and heritage protection management functions. The results of this study provide a new approach for the coordination of and symbiosis between the protection of cultural heritage and tourism activity.

(1) Background: Exploring the interactive relationship between intensive land use (ILU) and tourism industry development (TID) is of vital significance to promote the high-quality and sustainable development of tourism and the urban economy. (2) Methods: This paper constructs an evaluation index system of ILU and TID, and comprehensively measures the coupling and interaction between ILU and TID in China’s 58 major tourist cities from 2004 to 2018 by using the entropy weight method, coupling coordination degree model, and panel vector autoregressive model. (3) Results: In terms of the coupling relationship, the coupling coordination degree of ILU and TID in China’s major tourist cities were optimized year by year, and the coupling coordination degree from 2004 to 2008 was less than 0.2, which is part of the serious imbalance recession stage. From 2009 to 2018, the coupling coordination degree was between 0.2 and 0.4, which is part of the moderate maladjustment recession stage. In terms of interactive response, ILU and TID formed a long-term interactive relationship, and the intensity effect of ILU on TID is significantly higher than that of TID on ILU. (4) Conclusions: There is a significant correlation and bidirectional process between ILU and TID, and they have an essential impact on the high-quality development of tourist cities.

“…It is a complex dynamic system involving the economy, society, population, resources, environment, and other subsystems. The development of low-carbon cities must consider other subsystems to reduce carbon emissions [2,5]. Many studies have pointed out that low-carbon tourism is one of the crucial subsystems and ways to develop low-carbon cities [6].…”

“…Urban low-carbon tourism involves complex and multifaceted factors, which are different from other forms of tourism. Research points out that the promotion of lowcarbon tourism can start from economic, environmental, and social aspects [5]. The research pointed out that increasing investment in low-carbon infrastructure, promoting low-carbon materials and low-carbon labels, disseminating low-carbon concepts among stakeholders in the tourism industry, continuing low-carbon education for tourism practitioners, formulating and implementing lowcarbon development relevant policies and regulations, the active promotion of low-carbon technology, popularization of sustainable energy, etc.…”

The promotion of low-carbon city tourism is an important measure to reduce carbon emissions in various regions and realize sustainability. This research explores tourists’ sensory experience in the city’s low-carbon tourism economy, environment and society from urban low-carbon tourism and providing relevant units with a blueprint for urban low-carbon tourism planning. This research accompanies the empirical cases and introduces Gray Relational Analysis to overcome the difficulties in practice, sometimes due to cost and time constraints, that strategies must formulate with little information, little data, or uncertainty. The research results show that the top low-carbon tourism evaluations of Tainan’s business districts by tourism experts are An-Ping Business District and ChengKung University Business District. Relevant planners can refer to this ranking and weight to analyse sensory marketing opportunities to help create a more attractive low-carbon tourism city.
