Abstract It is the basis and prerequisite of the intensive use of urban resources and the feasibility determination of mega tourism investment projects in cities to identify the formation factors and simulate their mechanism for urban Tourism complex. Based on the importance evaluation of each partitioning indicator by using expert analytic method, the factor analysis method is used to extract the formation factors of urban tourism complex and their influencing intensity. The results show that the factors influencing the urban tourism complex formation can be attributed to 8 aspects sorted by order of their importance:Macroeconomic level, the development level of tourism industry, the strength of the tourism market, government administrative efficiency, the quality of tourism enterprise, the competitive of tourism resources, the public service ability of urban government, geographical location and convenient traffic conditions. It is the interactions between urban space and tourism industry constitute the generating mechanism of the urban tourism complex. Among them, not like other general tourism spots, whose generation always relies on their tourism resources, the generation and development of urban tourism complex more depend on the economic development level. That means even there are no more competitive resources in some economic cities, whose urban tourism complex projects would generate and development well supported by their economic level. Of courses, other conditions would also play some extent role in their generation. Finally, this article postulates that urban tourism complex is a special kind of man-land territorial system, the interactions between urban which as the attribute characteristic of geographical space and tourism which as the economic characteristics of the industrial form constitute the driving mechanism of the formation and development of urban tourism complex.
