ArcGIS technology was used to obtain the distribution map of land for tourism in Zhuhai in 1996 and 2007. Dynamic degree model and Markov model were applied to quantitatively analyze the quantity, origin, type, structure and spatial distribution evolution characteristics, as well as the reason and change tendency of the Zhuhai's land for tourism from 1996 to 2007. Conclusion was drawn as follows:①Under the theme of ecological and leisure tourism development in recent years, the scale of the Zhuhai's landuse for tourism grew rapidly in quantity;the rate of increment and the dynamic degree of the type of eco-tourism land were the biggest, which was far bigger than other types;the growth of land types for tourism decreased progressively in turn from the eco-tourism land, the resort, the theme park, the cultural landscape to the recreational garden . The scale of each land type for tourism in Xiangzhou district grew obviously, the overall dynamic degree in Jingwan district was the biggest. ②The forest land was the important source of the Zhuhai's land growth for tourism.The probability of originating from the farmland to tourism land of each district was small.The origin types of tourism land in various districts was closely related with their natural conditions and economic development. The resort transformed from forest land and construction land primarily. The cultural landscape and the theme park transformed from construction land . The eco-tourism land transformed mainly from forest land. ③ The main type of the increasing tourism land in Zhuhai was eco-park. The space shape evolution of tourism land presented the "十" shape, and mainly concentrated in the eastern mountains and islands of Zhuhai. Because of different resources condition and tourists market's attraction, each type of tourism land evolution shape was different from each other:the space evolution of the resort type was "U"-shape expansion along the west coast;the space evolution of the theme park and entertainment land presented the "L" -shape expansion. Because cultural landscape of Zhuhai lacked attraction, this kind of tourism land increased few and the shape showed scattered punctuate. As the tourist destination of garden recreational are mainly the local tourist, there was no increase in recent 11 years. ④Because the eco-tourism land of the forest park increased most obviously, the type and structure change of the forest land was most prominent. Land-use change trends of tourism land in Zhuhai were as follows:land for tourism area will increase, the growth scale of eco-tourism land will still be the biggest, the growth of tourism land in Xiangzhou district will be the most obvious, the tourism land origin in the future is mainly from Wanshan islands' shrub land and bare land, tourism land will be mainly extended to "two areas and a belt":eastern island of eco-tourism area, western leisure and tourism area, north of greenland and wetland ecotourism belt. The proportion of tourist facilities will continue to increase.
