The convention and exhibition tourism and hospitality industries in the Pearl River Delta has basically formed a spatial pattern with Guangzhou and Shenzhen as the core drivers，the trend of industrial convergence has become increasingly obvious，the innovation-driven new businesses are constantly emerging，and the bonus of policies of the Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been continuously released. However，there are still some problems such as the unbalanced development within the region，the inconspicuous driving effect of external radiation，and the inadequate high-quality development of the industry. The impact of COVID-19 has posed severe challenges to the development of the industry. It is suggested that the tourism industry should speed up regional integration and become the “Pearl of the Orient”；the convention and exhibition industry should speed up differentiated development and build the “convention and exhibition metropolis circle”；the hospitality industry should integrate into the high-quality life circle，and create the “new highland of culture and tourism”.
