Abstract Facilitating the coupling coordination between the tourism economy and regional sustainable development is a pivotal avenue for achieving high-quality development. This study utilizes panel data from 31 provincial-level administrative divisions in mainland China spanning from 2010 to 2019 as the research framework. Through the establishment of the "SU Curve" model for tourism economy and sustainable development, a coupling coordination model, and a BP neural network model, this research delves into the spatiotemporal evolution patterns of provincial-level tourism economy and sustainable development in China, as well as the influencing factors behind system coupling coordination. The study reveals: 1) The coupling coordination between provincial-level tourism economy and sustainable development in China exhibits a steady upward trend in a time series, undergoing a transition from near-disruption to basic coordination. In terms of spatial patterns, it displays an "East-strong, West-weak" characteristic, with a gradual decline in indices from the eastern coastal regions to the western inland areas, forming a noticeable step-like structure. 2) The coupling coordination status between provincial-level tourism economy and sustainable development remains relatively stable, with position changes mostly occurring between adjacent coordination levels. Achieving a breakthrough in a short period is challenging. 3) There is a strong correlation between provincial-level tourism economy and sustainable development in China. 4) In terms of policy recommendations, it is imperative to have a deeper understanding of the supportive and driving role that sustainable development plays in the tourism economy.
