Abstract: The research on the relationship between the three systems of internet development, technology innovation and star hotel efficiency for the development of the regional hotel industry provides a reference for this article. Based on the coupled coordination model, the authors analyze the evolutionary relationship between the three systems using the spatiotemporal dimension. The study draws the following conclusions. (1) In the 31 Chinese provinces examined, internet development and technological innovation have a high relevance, and there is a trend in these systems of decline from east to west in the three-ladder distribution. (2) The development trend of star hotel efficiency first rose and then fell, which shows its susceptibility to national policy. The spatial pattern reflects high efficiency in eastern and western China and low efficiency in the central area. (3) Among these characteristics, the comprehensive efficiency and pure technical efficiency of the star hotels in the eastern region are the highest, while the scale efficiency is highest in the western region. (4) The degree of coupled coordination maintains stability overall despite fluctuations, with the overall direction being toward healthy development. The system coupling coordinated development is complex and diverse, and the coupled coordination span is large, with the coupled coordination degree decreasing gradually from east to west in spatial distribution.
