Abstract Value engineering, appearing in America in 1940s, is a newly emerging discipline which combines many subjects such as technology, economy and administration. Regarded as one of six kinds of international modern administration technology, value engineering is commonly used all over the world. The goal of this administration technology is to realize the need function on the little cost and achieve the best comprehensive profit by analyzing the cost and the function systematically and creating continuously. In China, this technology has been applied on the area of product and engineering of industry since it was introduced in 1978. Recently, it has spread to agriculture, business, sanitation and scientific research areas and so on. Many achievements about value engineering have been gotten in so many areas. But this technology applied to tourism is not common and from the concept angle on great majority. There are not many experimental cases from the combined aspect of quantity and quality or the pure aspect of quantity. Many researchers have described how to apply value engineering in the development course of tourism products and tourism resource. But researches on value decision to many plans such as designing tourism items, selecting products or resource are very few. Taking the national forest park of Xian-nv mountain in Chongqing as an example, this paper discusses how to utilize the idea and the mechanism of value engineering to improve the operation quality and the whole interests of tourism economy, to resolve the problem of how to maximum the value of tourism resources in exploiting the tourism item effectively.
