Abstract: Abstract The development of quality and efficiency improvement in cultural tourism have become hot topics of academic discussion in China. Based on the coupling coordination theory, this study constructs a coupling coordination model of product supply and economic development of cultural tourism, calculates the coupling coordination level of 31 provinces in China, and then analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution of the coupling coordination level, and then analyzes its influencing factors according to the GTWR model. The results are as follows: (1) From 2007 to 2020, the global spatial positive correlation between the coupling and coordinated development ability of cultural tourism supply-demand-support system is prominent, the dynamics of local space is strong, and the cooperation ability shows the characteristics of strong east and weak west. (2) The ability of coupling and coordinated development decreases from east to west, but the development advantage of southwest China is obvious, among which the self-activity degree of northwest region is low, while southwest region is the highest. The development of cultural tourism maintains a relatively stable development trend in Southwest. (3) The degree of openness has a large trend of influencing ability, while the development of other five influencing factors maintains a relatively stable ability. In the stage of imbalanced development, the influence of openness, scientific and technological support, and potential consumption has decreased, while the influence of the influencing factors of household consumption and industrial support has remained unchanged, and the influence of economic security has increased. Recognize and explore cultural tourism as a "community", put forward specific countermeasures and suggestions, and realize the sustainable and healthy development of cultural tourism product supply and economic development. The article enriches the theory of the supply-demand-support system of cultural tourism, and also contributes Chinese wisdom to the sustainable development of cultural tourism.
