ABSTRACT

The shift from tourism to residential tourism hinges not only on ecological environments and climatic conditions but also on the transition toward sustainable and healthy lifestyles. Taking Puzhehei Administrative Village in Qiubei County as the research subject, this study employs participatory observation and semi-structured interviews to explore the symbiotic mechanisms for the integrated development of rural residential tourism and rural tourism from the perspective of symbiosis theory. The findings reveal that Puzhehei Administrative Village has established a three-dimensional symbiotic system of "conditions-industry-society" through differentiated natural resource offerings, functional coupling of industries such as homestays, host-guest interactions, and cultural-governance synergies, thereby providing a novel pathway for the integrated development of rural residential tourism and rural tourism.
