Abstract：Under the background of globalization, the construction of China tourism cities follows the development disciplinary from tourism cities to international tourism cities. Tourism cities eventually develop into international tourism cities with the in-depth tourism development, perfecting fundamental facilities and improving in the international awareness. The internationalization of tourism in cities is the symbol of cities tourism maturation. Taking 27 hot tourism cities in China as examples, this article measures and analyses international tourism development levels of them. Through analysis, the author finds 27 cities' relative positions in the development road of constructing internationalization tourism cites. Then, the strengths and weaknesses of them are found. This research makes realistic significance in helping hot tourism cities in China establish the struggling orientation of tourism internationalization and improve tourism development of them. This article constructs an evaluation system composing of four hierarchies and 39 indexes. Using the research method of AHP(analytic hierarchy process), the author quantificational evaluates the levels of internationalization tourism development. The evaluation results show that the 27 hot tourism cities of China can be compartmentalized into four types: high level cities, hypo-high level cities, middle level cities, and low level cities. From the angle of spatial distribution, coastal areas centralize the high levels of internationalization tourism development. There are eight cities in areas of top ten cities. They are Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Zhuhai, Hangzhou, Qingdao, Dalian, Guilin, Xi'an, Chengdu, and Kunming. At last, the strengths and weaknesses of cities respectively are analyzed, and the improving methods are advanced. Guilin, Xi'an, Chengdu, Kunming are four doyen tourism cities. But the levels of international tourism development are not high. The reason of them is the relatively worse location. The force of opening to the outside world should improve the levels of internationalization tourism development.
