In the process of internationalizing Nanchong’s cultural tourism industry, the mismatch between higher vocational foreign language education and industry demands has become increasingly prominent, necessitating innovative educational service pathways to achieve precise alignment. This paper proposes a dual-driven model of “Competency Map + Consortium”, constructing a foreign language competency map to accurately align job requirements with curriculum design, and establishing a foreign language service consortium in the cultural tourism industry to deepen the integration of government, schools, enterprises, and industries. Additionally, three supporting mechanisms are introduced: a data-driven dynamic monitoring system, a cross-regional cooperation and resource-sharing system, and an innovation incentive and achievement incubation system. These mechanisms ensure the effective implementation of the dual-driven model, providing insights for the deep integration of higher vocational foreign language education and the cultural tourism industry.
