The study of tourism niche is of great significance in improving tourism competitiveness, promoting coordinated development of regional tourism, and optimizing the layout of tourism space. From 2001 to 2018, the research trends of tourism niche in China have three stages,the research focuses on the evaluation of tourism niche, the tourism competition and cooperation research and the tourism spatial structure three aspects. The research method is mainly based on quantitative research, and the niche measurement models are most widely used, combined with analytic hierarchy process and cluster analysis method. However, there are still several shortcomings in the research, first, the interdisciplinary research is not deep enough, and it stays on the theoretical basis; second, the lack of innovation in tourism niche optimization strategy is limited to niche separation, niche expansion and compression, niche generalization and niche specialization strategy; third, the scope of the research object is macroscopic, and the relevant research on county and township is dificient.
