Abstract: The factors and indexes of tourism competitiveness in Luoyang and Xi’an were evaluated with the analysis model of ancient capital tourism competitiveness.

Luoyang should determine the strategic positioning of ancient capital tourism development and improve tourism system according to the core connotation of city's tourism competitiveness. On the base of keeping ancient features, Luoyang should make good use of history and culture endlessly which are formed from long time ago.
