Under the dual strategic context of “carbon peak and carbon neutrality” and “rural revitalization”, how to achieve a rapid and high-quality green and low-carbon transition in rural cultural tourism has become a pressing practical issue. Taking Hebei Province as a case study, this research focuses on the underlying mechanisms through which digital technology drives this transformation. By conducting a systematic analysis, a theoretical framework of “technology empowerment – industry integration – green transition” is constructed. Accordingly, targeted implementation pathways are proposed, including platform-based integration, intelligent upgrading, and green development. The study aims to provide valuable insights for promoting high-quality development in the culture and tourism sectors of Hebei and supporting its rural revitalization efforts.
