The impact of financial crisis of Southeast Asia on the tourist market of China has two aspects: The first one is that the devaluation of the currencies in a big amplitude in Southeast Asia has affected the out-bound tourism in these areas.It has also affected the tourist source markets where there have been over million tourists to China from short distance.In the relative long period,the increasing speed of tourist source market will be slow or decreased.In the other aspect,the currencies in Southeast Asia are constantly devaluated.However,the currency value of RMB is kept steadily.Under such a situation,the international tourists are even more voluntarily to select travelling the countries in Southeast Asia where the price is cheaper.At the same time,the tourist market of the long distance in China is also affected indirectly.The potential tourist source markets will be probably the competitors of China.The pressure in the regional competition will be increased.

Key words: Southeast Asia, financial crisis, international tourism,tourist source market
