Abstract A multi-cultural perspective is an important channel to understand the development of rural tourism, and cultural comparison has also become an universal way of thinking in tourism studies. This paper takes Beigou Village, Bohai Town, Huairou District, Beijing as an example to discuss the reconstruction effect of tourism on rural space under the influence of diverse subjects, and to re-examines the internal relationship between rural tourism and multi-culturalism. The paper found that the development of tourism in Beigou Village is influenced by the joint efforts of internal and external elites based on different cultures. The return of local elites with different cultural attributes has become an important turning point in the development of rural tourism, and these entities with different cultural characteristics have promoted the transformation of rural industrial status, spatial organization, and lifestyles. The integration and negotiation between local cultures and exterior (foreign in particular) social cultures have further promoted innovation in the tourism industry, forming a tourism space with the characteristics of combining Chinese and Western cultures. In the context of multicultural communication, subjects with different cultural backgrounds constantly practices and achieves multicultural integration in their everyday life, gradually breaking away from the cultural isolation between "us" and "other". Through the empirical case study, this paper aims to provide strategic references for optimizing the organizational form of rural tourism, realizing the rational rural resources allocation, and coordinating human-nature relationship under the multi-culturalism background.
