ABSTRACT: In his report to the 20th National Congress, emphasized the need to “comprehensively promote rural revitalization”. From “implementation” to “comprehensive promotion”, the achievements in rural revitalization have been remarkable, becoming an important component of China’s new development paradigm and driving the high-quality development of the tourism industry. With improvements in the rural ecological environment and economic development, rural tourism has gained popularity, becoming a key pillar of rural revitalization and poverty alleviation. At the same time, the development of rural tourism increases villagers’ income, enhances their quality of life, and boosts their happiness. In rural economic development, the rural tourism industry and the rural revitalization strategy promote each other. This article reviews theoretical research and practical cases of rural tourism, adopting literature review and qualitative analysis methods to highlight the contributions of rural tourism to economic growth, cultural preservation, and ecological development. It analyzes the impact of rural tourism on rural revitalization efforts. The study identifies the challenges facing the development of rural tourism in Xinjiang and proposes strategies for sustainable growth. It explores how, within the context of rural revitalization, sustainable development of rural tourism can be achieved and how the development of rural tourism can promote economic growth. Specifically, for Xinjiang’s rural tourism, this article focuses on analyzing its impact on rural revitalization and proposes development pathways for rural tourism to promote rural revitalization, providing a reference for the development of rural tourism in other regions.
