This paper measures the regional elasticity level and tourism development level in Xinjiang from 2011 to 2020, and analyzes the coupling coordination relationship and spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of the two through the coupling coordination degree model. The results show that, from 2011 to 2020, the regional elasticity of Xinjiang has been continuously enhanced, the comprehensive development index of tourism in the cities and cities of Xinjiang has increased year by year, and the tourism development level in northern Xinjiang is obviously better than that in southern and eastern Xinjiang; the coupling coordination degree of regional elasticity and tourism development systems gradually increased from 2011 to 2019, and decreased in 2020. The interaction between the two systems shows a trend of optimization and improvement from high coupling and low coordination level to high coupling and high coordination level. In the system level, the regional elasticity system has a higher degree of hindrance to the coupling and coordination level between regional resilience and tourism development systems than the tourism development system itself. In the index level, the foreign exchange income of tourism, the number of inbound tourists and the average number of college students per 10000 people are the main obstacle factors affecting the coupling and coordination degree of regional elasticity and tourism development system.
