Abstract:In recent years, rural cultural heritage resources have become valuable rural tourism wealth, and their unique cultural connotations have gradually developed into a powerful force for the revitalization of rural economy, culture, and ecology. However, in the process of protecting and rejuvenating rural cultural heritage resources, it has also been subject to internal and external shocks led by market economies such as industrialization and urbanization. Meanwhile, it is faced with a complex dilemma, which mainly includes insufficient integration and innovation of cultural and tourism products, slow industrial layout, and poor integration with tourism development. In view of the afore-mentioned problems, a concrete analysis of the integration predicament of rural cultural heritage resources and tourism development is carried out. Accordingly, feasible paths, such as cultural heritage resource integration planning and simultaneous protection and development, are proposed in order to provide effective solutions to the dilemma faced by the industry of culture and tourism. In this vein, the development of cultural tourism will promote the positive interaction between the two components, thereby, achieving the aim of the rational use, effective development, and comprehensive protection of rural cultural heritage resources.
