摘要 In the information age, the movement of livelihood factors between urban and rural areas, particularly involving farmers in rural tourism destinations, has stimulated the spatial revitalization and functional renewal of these destinations, thereby facilitating the advancement of rural revitalization. The examination of livelihood strategy selection among farmers in rural tourist destinations during the information age is a critical scientific inquiry for the sustainable development of rural tourism. This research holds substantial significance for enhancing the livelihood capabilities of farmers and contributing to the revitalization of rural industries. This study utilizes Xijiang Miao Village as a case study to conduct an in-depth analysis of farmers’ livelihood strategy selection through the application of the entropy evaluation method and the binary logistic regression model. The findings indicate that the robust development of rural tourism has led to significant alterations in the original composition of livelihood capital in tourist destinations. Currently, four distinct types of livelihoods have been identified: agricultural-based, migrant-work-oriented, tourism-specialized, and tourism-supplemented. Due to the uneven distribution of livelihood capital, the predominant livelihood modes for farmers in rural tourism destinations remain the agricultural-based and tourism-supplemented types. Human capital and economic capital are the primary factors influencing the strategic choices made by farmers. In this context, a livelihood selection strategy for farmers in rural tourist destinations, specifically in Xijiang Miao Village, is proposed, taking into account the background of rural informatization.
