The tourism ecologic footprint is an effective means to measure the tourism environment. This paper, based on the six factors in tourism, food, accommodation, traffic, tourism, entertainment and shopping, calculates the tourism ecologic footprint to be 0.0152 hm2 per person in 2006 and studies the relationship between the tourism and the ecology in Jiayuguan City, which has a deficit in tourism ecology, compared to other regions in Gansu province, a higher energy consumption of tourism and a highly dependence on environment. In the ecologic footprint, the fossil energy land footprint is 59.07%. The traffic footprint is 67.7% and the food footprint is 29.9% from the tourism factors.
