Abstract: Abstract Tourism development is not only an economic issue. Measuring its quality more comprehensively has important implications for achieving sustainable tourism. China has adopted the principle of High-quality Development to avoid the problems caused by the obsessive pursuit of GDP growth in the past. This study constructs an index system to measure the level of High-quality Development of tourism (HQDT), based on the new development philosophy that including innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing. This paper measures the HQDT in Heilongjiang Province from 2005 to 2019, and the results show that the level of HQDT in Heilongjiang Province has grown slowly. This reveals that the quality of the tourism industry has not achieved the same rapid growth as the tourism economy. Innovation have not played a driving role in HQDT, and coordination, green and open are the direct factors restricting the promotion of HQDT. The study initially reveals the feasibility of using HQDT to comprehensively evaluate the quality of the tourism industry.
