Fluctuations in the tourism industry have caused many families to face practical difficulties in livelihood sustainability; thus, tourism-based livelihood resilience has become an important research topic. Analyzing the theoretical relationship between the research progress of tourism-based livelihood resilience and the Sustainable Livelihood Approach, this study innovatively integrates sustainable livelihoods and livelihood resilience, considers cultural resilience as a critical element, and constructs a theoretical analysis framework of tourism-based livelihood resilience with multidimensional perspectives and dynamic characteristics. Additionally, cases in Dali of Yunnan, were employed to analyze the acculturation, influencing factors, and cooperative governance of tourism-based livelihood resilience. This study expands the theoretical perspective on sustainable livelihoods and improves the theoretical system of tourism-based livelihood resilience. In the future, livelihood resilience measurement methods, comparison of multilevel case studies, evolutionary mechanism analysis, and collaborative governance should be strengthened in research on tourism-based livelihood resilience.

High-quality development is essential to Chinese modernization. As a strategic pillar industry, tourism plays a key role in the Chinese national economy and in people’s livelihoods. It is, therefore, imperative to promote high-quality tourism development. This paper focuses on such important issues as theoretical connotation, opportunities and challenges, strategic priorities, and logical approaches to high-quality tourism development from the perspective of Chinese modernization. The core insights are as follows: (1) The theoretical connotation of high-quality tourism development from the perspective of Chinese modernization should be understood with a view to satisfying public needs with higher-quality services, promoting common prosperity, continuously boosting the in-depth integration of culture and tourism, promoting the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and serving as a bridge of peace; (2) To promote high-quality development of cultural tourism from the perspective of Chinese modernization, it is necessary to clarify the realistic, academic, and promotional rationales for the development of high-quality modernized Chinese tourism; (3) A new method of high-quality tourism development can be explored with a focus on high-quality tourism supply, coordinated development of the tourism industry, in-depth integration of culture and tourism, and green transformation of the tourism industry; (4) High-quality tourism development will help create a new variety of Chinese modernization through establishing a more resilient cultural and tourism supply, activating and guiding inclusive cultural tourism consumption, comprehensively promoting the in-depth integration and innovation of cultural tourism, and establishing a higher-quality cultural tourism service system; (5) Promoting high-quality rural tourism development and opening up the transformational channel of “turning lucid waters and lush mountains into invaluable assets” are conducive to revitalizing rural areas, gradually realizing common prosperity, and expediting Chinese modernization.
