Sustainable growth is a prerequisite for high-quality development, and inclusive green growth is regarded as an important way to realize sustainable growth. This paper constructs a tourism inclusive green growth index (IGGI) system based on the 2018 Asian Development Bank IGGI. Using Shandong Province from 2017 to 2019, the entropy weight method is utilized to explore the degree of coupling and coordination among the subsystems of tourism inclusive green growth. The study shows that: (1) the tourism IGGI continues to grow; (2) in the tourism inclusive green growth system, the social equity subsystem shows a trend of steady improvement; and (3) in the system, there is a slight discordance between the economic growth subsystem and the environmental sustainability subsystem. The study aims to provide the scientific basis for the high-quality development of tourism and theoretical support for the field of tourism and environmental sustainability.
