Although the cultural tourism industry is designated by the Chinese government as a key fostering industry for the country in the 21st century, its development is limited due to digital transformation, lack of high-end digital talent, and lack of cooperation between 'government-industry-university-research institutes' in the field of cultural tourism. In this study, based on China's culture and tourism industry policies and related literature, the current status and difficulties of science and technology collaboration innovation in the culture and tourism industry are clarified, and the government, industry, university, and research that can promote the leap forward development of the culture and tourism industry. The purpose of this study is to identify the necessity and importance of a cooperative innovation system among six parties, including 'government, industry, university, research institute, application, and innovation', which can promote the rapid development of the cultural tourism industry.
