The research shows that controlling quantity scale and adjusting spatial strategic layout, which are the measures taken in response to the changes of external environment, are difficult to work. With the “new normal”, the tourism enterprises’transformation needs to rely on being driven by the growth of the total factor productivity. The paper has found that the tourism enterprises’total factor productivity has been growing from 2001 to 2012, efficiency change of the tourism enterprises of most provinces has decreased, but technical change has shown overall growth. In order to adapt to the “new normal” and make the successful transformation, it is necessary to rely on personnel management reform to get rid of the efficiency restrictions; it is also necessary to rely on the high-level industry integration to achieve technical progress, which can promote the growth of the total factor productivity.

Tourism image measurement is an effective way for problem diagnosis of tourism destination. This paper divided the measurement of tourism image into five major elements with 6 measurement factors. The research method is mainly structure, supplemented by nonstructure measurement. Based on the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA),the paper concludes that the actual performance of the whole tourism image of Kunming is below the public expectation. The first priority should be given to the enhancement of the six image factors---accommodation, transportation, shopping, entertainment, sanitation, as well as tourism advertisement——so as to improve the tourism image of Kunming. The author also designed a questionnaire for non-local tourists to indicate their impression of the city. The survey measured the theme of “It is spring everyday in Kunming” and “the Spring City". The main problems to be solved in the six image factors were also dealt with in the questionnaire.
