Abstract
China is vast in area and rich in tourism resources. However, for some historical reasons, not adequate attention was paid to tourism in the past, therefore considerable potential tourism resources have not been discovered and the resources already discovered have not been properly developed and fully utilized. With the rapid development of tourism in recent years, people have gradually realized that tourism resources are obviously insufficient and a systematical survey and evaluation is urgently needed to meet the needs of constant development of tourism.
