However, existing markets face challenges including spatial homogeneity, superficial cultural expression, and weak industry-education collaboration. Grounded in the concept of industry-education integration, this study explores how aligning educational chains, talent pipelines with industrial and innovation chains can drive environmental art design innovation in cultural tourism markets. Research indicates that industry-education integration serves not only as a reform pathway for talent cultivation but also as an effective mechanism for spatial innovation. By establishing collaborative platforms involving government, schools, industries, and enterprises, promoting deep integration of teaching with local projects, and guiding design practices through research initiatives, we can significantly enhance regional cultural identity, experiential interactivity, and ecological adaptability of cultural tourism markets. The paper proposes four strategies: scenario narrative based on cultural gene decoding, interactive experience strategies leveraging digital technology integration, flexible growth strategies through modular construction, and localized revitalization strategies utilizing indigenous materials. These approaches aim to provide theoretical references and practical pathways for high-quality development of cultural tourism markets in Hainan Free Trade Port.Industry-education integration, Hainan Free Trade Port, Cultural tourism market, Environmental art design, Innovation strategies
