However, the middle and western areas possess a great deal of beautiful tourism resources, and they are so sight worthy. Well, the tourism resources in Shaanxi, Henan & Gansu are similar and also supplementary, and their historic culture venation is also corresponding, traffic connection is well and they have the basic condition for regional tourism cooperation. Moreover, after a brief review of the study on regional tourism cooperation both at home and abroad, and by taking three provinces including Shaanxi, Henan & Gansu as an example, using the related concepts and theories of regional geography and tourism, and according to the distinctive features of the tourism resources and convenience of transport and other factors in the three provinces, this paper analyses the possibility and necessity of their cooperation, explores a spatial competition & cooperation mechanism, constructs a frame of regional tourism cooperation of the three provinces and puts forward several strategies and hope which will be beneficial to the research on regional tourism cooperation in the middle and western areas. Based on three brand tourism lines as "The tourism between the millennium ancient capitals, the silk road tourism and the loess plateau tourism" and regional tourism network, this paper redefines the tourism lines and matches correlative policies and measures to realize the interprovincial regional tourism cooperation of the three provinces.
