Following regional tourism cooperation, the promotion of balanced sustainable development has begun to play a vital role in the tourism industry. Using the West Coast of the Strait urban agglomeration, China, as an example, this study uses a data envelopment analysis (DEA) to analyzes the nonlinear relationship between tourism economic contact intensity and tourism industry efficiency by constructing a mixed effect model. The results show the following: (1) In the early stage of regional tourism cooperation, the efficiency of the tourism industry will decrease with an increase in the intensity of tourism economic contact. As regional cooperation tends towards a stable stage, the efficiency of the tourism industry will continue to increase with the strengthening of the intensity of tourism economic contact. (2) The regional economic level harms the efficiency of the tourism industry. The urbanization level has a positive effect on the efficiency of the tourism industry. (3) The level of opening up and transportation development in the region will not only bring tourism resources or tourists, but also lead them to flow out. They have no significant impacts on the efficiency of the tourism industry.

The Mekong region consists of six countries linked by the Mekong River, namely Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Since the early 1990s, regional cooperation in the Mekong region has gained new momentum and become more dynamic. Significant transformations in the trend of regionalism occurred with an increase in the number of multilateral mechanisms. Given the myriad of existing mechanisms, there is a question of whether there is any chance for a new sectoral cooperation mechanism. The following research seeks to answer that question by taking tourism cooperation as a case study. The research will explore current existing tourism cooperation frameworks and factors that influence regional tourism collaboration. It argues that there is room for a new tourism cooperation mechanism. However, there are also push and pull factors which must be taken into consideration as the potential institution is being built.
