Abstract

This research constructs a development potential evaluation index system of transformation & upgrading from a scenic spot to a tourism complex from the following four aspects: development conditions of a tourism complex, conditions of tourism resources, conditions of tourist sources and conditions of ecological environment. The method of multi-objective linear weighted function is adopted in the construction of evaluation model of development potential of the transformation & upgrading from a scenic spot to a tourism complex and based on this evaluation model the development potential of transformation & upgrading from Mount Qiyun Scenic Spot to Mount Qiyun Tourism Complex has been evaluated. The evaluation results show that Mount Qiyun holds the potential of constructing a leisure & health tourism complex, which is consistent with the local government's developing goal.
