The research on the integration of digital art and cultural tourism plays a significant role in improving the relationship between individuals and urban spaces. Integrating these two research orientations through interdisciplinary approaches is crucial for promoting the deep integration and development of digital art and cultural tourism. By combing and integrating relevant academic and case materials from both domestic and international sources, this study summarizes the development trends of the integration of digital art and cultural tourism in Zhejiang Province. These trends can facilitate innovation in the content and forms of digital art, transform the development approach of cultural tourism in Zhejiang Province, stimulate the innovative vitality of various participating entities, and create more innovative outcomes in the integration of art and tourism. Additionally, cultivating a high-level team of leading talents is also an important pathway to advance the deep integration of digital art and cultural tourism. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen support for the construction of digital art-related disciplines in higher education institutions, encourage collaboration between academia, industry, and research organizations, and promote the joint cultivation of interdisciplinary talents, ultimately achieving systematic development in the field of integration research.
