This study explores the synergistic development between smart tourism and the dissemination of He Luo culture, employing a coupling model to elucidate their interrelation. Through a theoretical analysis, it establishes a connection between He Luo culture and intelligent tourism, utilizing the entropy weight method to ascertain the significance of various evaluation indicators. An assessment framework is constructed based on selected indicators to gauge the progress of He Luo culture and intelligent tourism. The research develops a coupling degree model to examine their collaborative growth, revealing a transition in the integration of the river Luo culture sector and the tourism industry from a phase of minimal alignment to primarily coordinated development from 2014 to 2020. The coupling and integration degree between tourism and culture industries within a city has seen a significant increase, from a low of 0.41736 to a high of 0.61014, marking an improvement of 0.19278. This investigation provides a theoretical foundation for enhancing Chinas economic development through the joint advancement of He Luo culture and intelligent tourism.
