Research on Innovative Forms of Industry-Education Integration and Talent Supply-Side Reform in Universities under the Background of Digital Free Trade Port: Taking Hainan Cultural Tourism and Health Care Industry Cluster as an Example
Against the backdrop of digital transformation and island-wide customs operations in Hainan Free Trade Port, cultural tourism and healthcare industry clusters are accelerating their evolution toward intelligentization, internationalization, and integration, creating urgent demands for digital, interdisciplinary, and global talent. Current university talent supply faces structural challenges including outdated professional frameworks, superficial industry-academia integration, weak digital literacy, and insufficient practical skills. Grounded in the digital free trade port strategy, this study analyzes the digital transformation characteristics and evolving talent needs in cultural tourism and healthcare sectors. It explores four innovative models for industry-academia collaboration: digital-intelligent integration, scenario-based approaches, ecosystem development, and global alignment. The research proposes a five-pronged talent supply-side reform pathway encompassing professional restructuring, curriculum iteration, practice redesign, faculty upgrading, and institutional innovation. Supported by Hainan’s case studies, this study provides talent assurance and theoretical references for high-quality development of the free trade port’s cultural tourism and healthcare industries.
