| Abstract | Tourists have taken the most essential role in the development of the tourism industry in Lanzhou. However, the arrival of tourists has some positive and negative impacts on local people's life. As the characteristic of residents, they are in the position to either offer support or avoid the future development of the tourism industry. So, it is necessary to conduct a study for measuring the attitudes of Lanzhou residents toward tourists and figure out influenced factors to provide advice for the development of the Chinese market. This study adopted individual in-depth interviews which is one of the qualitative approaches to collecting residents' attitudes towards tourists in Lanzhou. And the results of the the interviews were entered into NVivo 11 system for content analysis. All 22 residents were interviewed in this study to describe their thoughts and opinions toward tourists.

The findings of the study showed that there are 6 factors that influenced residents' attitudes toward tourists: physical distance, the length of residence, economic dependency, seasonality, age, and income.
