Abstract：According to the inter-governmental tourism collaboration agreements of 26 cities in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, this paper constructs a two-stage tourism collaboration network from 2003 to 2010 and from 2011 to 2021, and tests the impact of tourism collaboration on tourism flow. Given to the analysis results, this paper then summarizes the characteristics and evolution rules of tourism cooperation within the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration in the past 20 years, and its influence on the spatial and temporal distribution of tourism flow. The results show that:1) The cities in Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration have initially formed a well-balanced and stable tourism cooperation network step by step. 2) The goal of Inter-governmental collaboration has shifted from "expanding partner" to "enhancing relations", and the cities have begun to seek cooperation and group up based on the metropolitan plans. 3) By weakening inter-city traffic, market and administrative barriers, the government's macro-control behavior effectively affects the spatial and temporal distribution of tourism flows within the region, and the effect of different cooperation modes differs.
