This study investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of tourism efficiency and development in Guangdong Province, China, from 2000 to 2020. Using data envelopment analysis (DEA-MI), the study measures and dissects tourism efficiency across 21 cities. Exploratory spatiotemporal data analysis, including LISA time paths and spatiotemporal leaps, examines regional differences and spatial structures. A coupled coordination degree model analyzes the relationship between tourism efficiency and development level. Results reveal significant spatial differences in tourism efficiency, stable local spatial structures, and gradually improving coupling coordination between efficiency and development level, although with spatial heterogeneity and volatility.
