Abstract：Based on the DEA,super efficiency SBM model and Malmquist index,11 coastal provinces and cities in China were selected as case areas in this paper.The input-output indicators reflecting the development efficiency of marine tourism were used to quantitatively characterize and compare the re-gional differences of marine tourism development efficiency.The results showed as follows:(1)From the inter provincial and regional level,the temporal and spatial differences of marine tourism develop-ment efficiency were significant,and the temporal and spatial regularities were obvious.(2)The utili-zation capacity and output capacity of marine tourism resources in different regions were quite different.The overall input factors of marine tourism development in coastal areas had a certain degree of ineffi-cient utilization and idle resources.(3)From the perspective of individual provinces,the comprehensive efficiency of marine tourism in Zhejiang maintained a leading position,with a good overall development level,more input and more output.In recent years,the comprehensive efficiency of marine tourism in Guangxi has shown a relatively positive development trend.The comprehensive efficiency of marine tourism in other regions has changed relatively steadily.
