The aims at analysis the rural poverty and present situation and fundamental condition of tourism development were to find major countermeasures on tourism poverty alleviation development. The results were shown that the larger poverty population lived in rural area in Nanjiang County of Bazhong City, and the Engel coefficients during 2000 and 2008 has been large in this County. In terms of distribution, the poverty-stricken region was contiguous and in the past years the net income from the agriculture is negative. The major conclusions were that the tourism eliminating poverty would play more important role in turning the poor to rich in a poverty county for the agriculture, peasants and rural areas, not only depending on farming. The effect on tourism development for poverty alleviation was too little to make it the leading industry or pillar industry. The advantage formed in implementation of tourism development was to rely on the development of tourism Guangwushan Scenic Area. But the five big bottlenecks ,including investment, talent, system, market and culture, were still the larger difficulty need to be overcome. Finally, according to the bottleneck factors the development countermeasures were proposed. It should be great practical significance for the new socialist countryside construction to promote the Old Revolutionary Base Areas so that people lived in rural regions of the state-level poor county become richer in future.
