Abstract :
This paper tries to evaluate the openness of Chinese tourism market toward foreign travelers. The way of approach is by examining the tourism services trade barriers. This paper includes a model of tourism services trade barrier, which is built based on Paasche index theory, with America´s direct tourism output and GNI per capita chosen as its two variables. With this model, the degree of the openness of China´s inbound tourism market towards foreign travelers can be quantified.
