Abstract: Taking Shangluo city in Qinba Mountain Area, a concentrated area of poverty-stricken areas, as a sample, the empirical data from 2008 to 2017 is analyzed. Through empirical research on the measurement of tourism economic growth and poverty reduction, it is found that economic growth is the main driving force for poverty reduction, tourism industry is a dominant industry in special hardship areas, tourism is an important contributor to economic growth in special hardship areas and the main thrust for poverty alleviation. Based on the above analysis, it is proposed that the development of tourism in concentrated contiguous areas should introduce market mechanisms, develop characteristic agriculture, and strengthen peasant training, so that tourism can better promote poverty alleviation and consolidate the results of poverty alleviation.
