As the leading industry of service industry, tourism industry has a wide range of industrial clusters because of its close connection and obvious aggregation. The formation of tourism industry cluster needs certain conditions and power, and needs continuous innovation. Innovation ability plays an important role in improving the development and competitiveness of tourism industry cluster. This paper discusses the formation conditions of tourism industry cluster from two dimensions of space and industry, and analyzes the driving mechanism of tourism industry cluster from the internal and external driving forces of enterprises. On this basis, it discusses the innovation mechanism and influencing factors of tourism industry cluster, which is helpful to deepen the theoretical and practical development of tourism industry cluster and promote the sustainable innovation of tourism industry cluster.
