Abstract：The concept, measurement basis and calculation method of TEF were analyzed. And combining with the ecological consumption and its structure characteristics of tourists, the model of TEF was divided into six sub-models including the model of food, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping and entertainment. Taking Haikou as an example, this paper also calculated and analyzed its TEF in 2006 by integrating synthetic method and component method. The result revealed that in 2006, the TEF was 865 727.37 hm2,the background ecological footprint was 4 833 301.69 hm2,the ecological carrying capacity was 520 544.85 hm2, and the tourism ecological deficit per capita was 0.064 337 hm2 and the total ecological deficit per capita was 0.731 890 hm2. In addition, the “contribution rate” of the TEF to the EF was 15.19% and the“contribution rate” of the tourism ecological deficit to the total ecological deficit was 8.79% in Haikou, which proved that the tourism was becoming a pressure on sustainable utilization of local environment and resources.
