Researches of tourism impact usually pay more attention to tourism destination but less attention to the stopover city of tourists. This paper researched the economic impact of tourism destination development on stopover city, Burqin, the case study city, which is a county center of less developed region in northwest of China and is a stopover city for tourists going to Kanas scenic area. We analyzed the impacts on industrial structure and urbanization of Burqin city on the bases of local statistical data through the correlation analysis approach. Then, we analyzed the difference of income and expenditure of residents whose job was relative to tourism compared to those residents whose job was not relative to tourism. At last, 10 variables were chosen from relative documents using the 5-point Likert scale to measure the residents＇ perception of the economic influence of tourists at Burqin according to Fishbein model. Research showed that industrial structure, urbanization, residents＇ income and expenditure of Burqin have improved, and urban economy has also improved.
