Addressing the structural imbalance in smart tourism course teaching—characterized by "emphasizing technical principles while neglecting value guidance, and prioritizing case introductions over critical thinking and character cultivation"—this study takes the ideological and political education (IPE) reform of the course "Introduction to Smart Tourism" as its vehicle to construct a "dual-integration driven" teaching model. This model is driven by two wheels: interdisciplinary integration and industry-education integration. It systematically excavates the IPE elements embedded in the course, including cultural confidence, ecological protection, rural revitalization, red heritage, technological self-reliance, and data ethics. By building a full-chain IPE implementation system of "theoretical immersion—case discussion—project practice—evaluation feedback," and relying on a localized typical case database and a government-enterprise-university collaborative education platform, the model enables students to advance from "technical cognition" to "value internalization" and further to "professional practice." A three-year teaching practice shows that this model effectively enhances students' cultural identity, technological ethics awareness, and cross-cultural narrative ability, providing a replicable practical paradigm for similar universities to carry out IPE construction in smart tourism courses.References
