The construction of characteristic towns is a useful exploration of the new normal of economic development and an effective measure to promote the construction of new urbanization. Guangxi has unique landscape resource endowment and location advantages, and development of tourism characteristic towns has broad
prospects. Based on Porter's diamond theory, an analysis of Guangxi's tourism characteristic towns reveals that Guangxi has abundant tourism resources and
strong demand for small towns. However, due to relatively backward infrastructure, lack of high-end professionals, insufficient industrial innovation capability and the
government guides. Therefore, the development of Guangxi tourism characteristic towns should connect with the industrial demand, enhance the coordinated
integration of resource elements and develop towns differently. Make correct use of government functions and seize the opportunity to open up the international market
to inject vitality into the sustainable development of Guangxi tourist towns.
