Abstract：Integration is the inevitable trend of promoting the development of regional economy and cultural integrating. Integration has a variety of spatial structure forms, which have an important impact on the tourism economic relations between areas. The research used this method to measure the liaison degree of tourism economy among cities from 2006 to 2010, and then made an analysis of the chief characteristics and rules on the basis of the data analysis. The main results are as following:The volumes of the metropolitan area economic links(including the liaison between cities and the total scale) differ a lot. Based on the above analysis, the article puts forward four aspects of countermeasures to strengthen the tourism economic linkage of the cities:the first is that the cities in the metropolitan area should move toward consensus on the development of regional integration, and advance the unified tourism image construction; the second is to strengthen the connotation construction of tourism in different cities, and to develop more reasonable system of regional division in the metropolitan area; the third is that the integrated advantage of the center city-Nanjing should be played sufficiently, and thus the metropolitan area forms a spatial pattern type of " a myriad of stars surround the moon"; the fourth is to explore the diversification of different cooperation main bodies and the regional tourism cooperation modes; the last is to form the integration tourism service system in the metropolitan area due to the convenient traffic conditions.
