Abstract: This study focus on the efficiency measure of tourism for 31 China’s provincial forest parks from 2000 to 2014 by using the DEA (data envelopment analysis) and spatial analysis method to clarify the evolution of spatial-temporal pattern. The results showed as follows :(1)The tourism efficiency of China’s provincial forest parks had been improved in fluctuation from 2000 to 2014. (2)The difference of comprehensive efficiency between provinces and regions was significant, which was driven by pure technology in developed region, while in undeveloped region was mainly driven by scale. (3)The efficiency of dimensional evolution showed the trend that high and low value were concentrated, some neighboring provinces showed more closely, “Matthew effect” was significant, its center of gravity was moving to the southeast direction on the whole, the comprehensive efficiency and the pure technical efficiency in each year present U evolution trend, scale efficiency present M evolution trend. Based on the above analysis, this paper promoted the path improvements of tourism efficiency, which has great significance for the sustainable development of tourism resources in provincial forest parks.
