This article examines the economic impact of tourism in and around China�s Zhangjiajie City, a destination known for its protected areas and natural beauty. It is a rather unique case in that it is a natural attraction in the developing world that attracts predominately domestic tourists. Based on the analysis of published governmental statistical data, this study concludes that tourism has accelerated the economic development of the region, transformed the industrial base of the region, and that tourism is gradually emerging as the dominant economic sector. It concludes by discussing future threats to Zhangjiajie�s tourism-centric economy.
