Abstract: In order to promote coordinated development of agriculture and tourism, which were the two pillar industries in Wuling Mountain Area, symbiotic relationship between agriculture and tourism was analyzed by industrial symbiosis theory. Symbiotic evolution model of agricultural and tourism was built by Logistic model based on the symbiotic relationship. Stability of the model was analyzed and model parameters were estimated by differential evolution algorithm. Then the model was tested using data of agriculture and tourism in Tujia-Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Xiangxi (called as Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture for short) from 2001 to 2012. The results showed that the symbiotic behavior pattern of agriculture and tourism of Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture was an asymmetric mutualism pattern. Positive feedback effect that agriculture brought to tourism was much greater than that tourism brought to agriculture. Therefore, the author suggested that tourism should be strengthened to nurture agriculture in Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, and a fair income distribution mechanism between agriculture and tourism should be established for promoting the symmetric symbiotic evolution of agriculture and tourism.
