The rapid development of the digital cultural tourism industry necessitates the cultivation of "digital+tourism" interdisciplinary talent through higher vocational tourism courses. Currently, these courses face several obstacles in integrating digital elements, including superficial learning objectives, outdated curriculum development, ineffective teaching implementation, and simplistic evaluation mechanisms. The proposed pathways to overcome these challenges are: deepening industry-education integration to establish a dynamic objective cultivation system; restructuring the curriculum into modular frameworks; innovating virtual-real integrated teaching models; and improving dynamic evaluation systems. This entails driving the comprehensive digital transformation of higher vocational tourism courses through collaborative industry-academia efforts, curriculum optimization, technological integration, and data-driven feedback.
