Abstract Based on the tourism statistical data of Shangdong Province from 2000-2017, this paper constructs a evaluation index system of tourism economy and urbanization and uses the Coupling Coordination Model to make an empirical study on the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of the coupled coordinated development of tourism economy and urbanization in Shandong Province. Then some developing strategies for the coupled development of tourism economy and urbanization in coastal provinces are put forward. The results show that the coupling coordination level between tourism economy and urbanization is moving towards benign coordination, but there are some obvious spatial differences. And the coupling coordination of the central cities is superior to other cities, and their relative development level changes from the tourism-lagged model to synchronous model. In view of the fact that there is still a huge space for the development of tourism economy in coastal provinces, we should deeply explore coastal tourism resources. In the near future, we should comprehensively promote the level of high-quality tourism and new urbanization in coastal provinces, establish a coupled development plan of tourism and urbanization, and develop it reasonably in accordance with local conditions.
