Annual Report on Development of World Tourism Cities (2015) is launched by WTCF after an in-depth research on the development of world tourism cities. The World Tourism City Development Index put forward in the report is a comprehensive index evaluating cities’ tourism development level. The development index consists of three evaluation systems: integrated indexes, individual sub-indexes and characteristic indexes from the aspects of tourists, tourism industry and urban management. The finally formed individual sub-indexes are tourism prosperity index, tourism development potential index, tourism appeal index, support for tourism index, tourism’s economy contribution index and tourist satisfaction index. The report highlights three aspects: the first is tourists’ experience evaluation on tourism service quality, which is a comprehensive evaluation on tourists’ experience of tourism cities’ accommodation, dining, shopping, transportation and so on, reflecting the concept of “user experience first”; the second is the evaluation on tourism industry’s contribution to urban economy, showing the important role of tourism industry in expanding domestic demand, boosting consumption and investment etc. and the concept of interactive development between the tourism industry and cities; the third is the function of tourism big data in the research and evaluation of world tourism cities, reflecting the concept of combining top-down and bottom-up data.
