In the context of the new era, with the implementation of the cultural power strategy and the deep integration of cultural tourism industries, the objectives of Chinese Tourism Spatial Design courses in vocational colleges have evolved. The focus now lies on cultivating applied talents capable of engaging in intangible cultural heritage preservation while mastering modern design concepts and innovative capabilities. Vocational education, characterized by industry-education integration and emphasis on practical training, requires curriculum development grounded in these principles. Current teaching practices reveal several challenges: excessive superficial integration of intangible cultural heritage elements while neglecting their profound cultural significance and craftsmanship spirit; fragmented value-oriented content that lacks cohesive integration throughout the educational process. To address these issues, digital technologies can be leveraged to enhance school-enterprise collaborative education. By establishing blended online-offline teaching environments, developing digital intangible cultural heritage resource libraries, and creating collaborative design platforms, curriculum reforms can be advanced. This approach not only revitalizes the dynamic transmission of intangible cultural heritage but also significantly improves the quality of talent cultivation in cultural tourism spatial design.
