Abstract: The New Liberal Arts initiative is driving the transformation of liberal arts education toward interdisciplinary, digital, and practice-oriented approaches. Meanwhile, the deep integration and digital upgrading of the cultural tourism industry have imposed compound competency requirements on tourism management professionals, encompassing "cultural heritage + digital technology + creative operations + service empathy." Currently, the tourism management discipline faces challenges such as talent cultivation lagging behind industry demands, rigid curriculum systems, and loose industry-education integration, leading to structural imbalances in talent supply and demand. Grounded in the core principles of the New Liberal Arts and aligned with the talent needs of the cultural tourism industry, this paper explores practical pathways for cultivating compound talents in tourism management through five dimensions: restructuring training objectives, optimizing curriculum systems, innovating teaching models, strengthening faculty development, and improving evaluation mechanisms. These insights provide references for educational reform in university tourism management programs.
