However, city integration has rarely been studied in the tourism literature along with its dimensions and impact on tourism development.

Through a qualitative research method with 73 semi-structured interviews, this study identified five dimensions of the effects of city integration on tourism development were also determined, including resource, community, product, marketing and economic dimensions. The theoretical contributions and practical implications of the findings were also discussed.
