Abstract

With the development of tourism, it is generally indicated that urban tourism functions have been strengthened. However, there is still no excellent empirical study on how to evaluate urban tourism functions quantitatively in urban systems. Based on the previous studies, this paper proposes a conceptual model of urban tourism function evaluation. The conceptual model includes five dimensions which are tourism function properties, function level, function scale, function intensity and function status. Using statistical data from 287 cities in China as samples making empirical studies of the function of tourist destinations and giving quantitative assessment of each dimension.
