As the most valuable resource, knowledge has become the core competence of the organization. Tourism was affected by the development of society, with the changes that tourist desire to learn more from their journey, at the same times the high-educated employees in the tourism corporation could use high technology to service. Such condition as to speak that "knowledge tourism" is the suitable concept for its trend in this era of knowledge based economy.The study and practice of knowledge management has grown rapidly since the 90s last century, driven by social, economic, and technological trends. Limited by the modern knowledge views, tourism has been slow in adopting this approach due to not only a lack of gearing between researchers and tourism, but also to a "hostile" knowledge adoption environment. For this reason the author try to construct the theoretical framework of knowledge tourism then do some empirical research, because the acquisition of knowledge management theory would close the gap and also provide both insights and potential applications for tourism.There are three parts including altogether 10 chapters in this paper. In the first part, based on some connected research the author proposes the concept model of knowledge tourism management with the interpretation of some key words like knowledge tourism,knowledge tourist and knowledge tourism product.In the second part, this paper highlights the applied method of positive organizational behavior in the study of knowledge tourism management. With the classic scale measure of international brand personality, combined with research achievement from domestic scholars, the fifth chapter has an empirical study of the psychological capital of the employees in two tourist attractions in Shaanxi province.

In order to develop the knowledge tourism, the deeply cognition for Geological Relics sights needs more attention. As a typical knowledge tourism product, interpretation is very important to the protection and sustainable development of Geo-park. With a survey of tourists at the Cuihuashan national Geo-park based on the questionnaire which explored by the author, chapter 8 has an empirical study of the tourism interpretive demand in Geological Relics sights. The Statistical results show that visitors have great demand for the guided walk. As demonstrated by the analysis, Visitors' preference for interpretive topic is distinctly different in terms of their age, educational background and occupation. Subsequently, a case is studied to develop strategy for promoting the knowledge conversion both inside and outside the Geo-park.Finally, this paper makes a summary about the above research in order to draw reader's attention to innovations and the shortcomings of this article and then the aspects for future investigate.The main conclusions of the research are:1) Knowledge tourism is the main trend in the knowledge economy era.
