Abstract: This study adopts a holistic and systematic perspective to construct a theoretical framework for the supply system of wellness tourism destinations. Based on a review of domestic and international research on wellness tourism supply, this paper summarizes the core components of the supply system and proposes the four-dimensional integrated model of Nature-Culture-Sports-Longevity (NCLS). The connotation of the NCLS model can be illustrated through the practice of Anhui Province: high-quality natural ecosystems provide the material foundation for wellness tourism development; Huizhou culture endows tourism products with profound cultural connotations and spiritual experiences; longevity-oriented wellness resources form differentiated competitiveness and attract tourists seeking health preservation; and diverse sports activities further enhance the effectiveness of wellness, promoting the physical and psychological coordination of tourists. The four dimensions interact synergistically and organically, jointly forming a destination supply system centered on comprehensive wellness experiences. This study addresses the limitations of existing research that often focus on single factors and overemphasize the demand side. It establishes a wellness tourism supply system more suitable for China’s local context, and can provide theoretical references and practical insights for the supply-side reform of wellness tourism destinations.

Abstract: Amid the global shift towards innovation-driven development, this paper investigates the role of technology transfer in promoting green innovation. With increasing attention to sustainability and environmental protection, green innovation has become a key driver of long-term economic growth. This study examines the impact of the National Technology Transfer Center (NTTC) on urban green innovation in China. Using a panel dataset covering 283 cities from 2010 to 2021, we apply a multi-period difference-in-differences approach to evaluate the causal effect of NTTC establishment. The results show that NTTC significantly enhances urban green innovation, as reflected in the number of green patent applications and the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies. These findings provide empirical evidence that technology transfer institutions can effectively facilitate the diffusion and application of advanced green technologies, supporting sustainable technological development.This study contributes to the literature by linking institutional mechanisms directly to urban green innovation and providing micro-level evidence for evaluating innovation policy. The findings also have important policy implications, suggesting that governments can promote green development by establishing and strengthening technology transfer platforms to accelerate the adoption of green technologies. Overall, the paper offers insights for integrating technology transfer into strategies for sustainable growth, supporting both economic development and environmental objectives.
