As one kind of pattern of urbanization, tourism urbanization phenomenon has appeared in developed Western countries since 1970s. The tourism urbanization phenomenon also happened in china in the late 20th century. As the theoretical research of tourism urbanization lags far behind the practice, the tourism urbanization is unbalance in different regions of China. Therefore, the evolution research on the tourism urbanization could be a direct way to analyze the essence of the tourism urbanization.The characteristics of one place's resources have a large impact on tourism urbanization, that is if the resources were different, the development and evolution of tourism urbanization would be also different. Therefore, according to the different characteristics of the location where tourism urbanization happens, the paper classifies tourism urbanization into three types as following: economy-driven tourism urbanization, tourism-resources-driven tourism urbanization, and comprehensive-resources-driven tourism urbanization, and takes the economy-driven tourism urbanization as research object. On the base of the close relationship between economy-driven tourism urbanization and urban tourism, the paper uses the system theory of urban tourism development to analyze the dynamic factors and their affections of the economy-driven tourism urbanization, and uses the stage theory of urban tourism motivating to analyze the evolution of economy-driven tourism urbanization according to the different dynamic mechanism of different stage. Through this research, the paper tries to build a reference for the development of the same type of tourism urbanization in China.The full text structured as follows: chapter I is the background and main contents, bringing forward the central theme of the paper; chapter II clearly defines the key concepts of this article, and uses inductive method to sort out the present studies on tourism urbanization at home and abroad. Chapter III defines the specific research object of this paper, that is economy-driven tourism urbanization, and builds the paper's theoretical basis on relevant theories; Chapter IV analyses the dynamic factors and evolution process of economy-driven tourism urbanization, and classifies the evolution process into three stages, and explores the dynamic mechanism, affections, the main types of tourism and the tourism object of every stage of economy-driven tourism urbanization; Chapter V takes Shenzhen for the case study, makes a detailed analysis of the dynamic factors and evolution process of its tourism urbanization.The research shows that in the process of economy-driven tourism urbanization, the dynamic factors, development goals and the means are different in the different stages, so the study owns an important references to improving the development level of Chinese economy-driven tourism urbanization.
