As it usually varies with the time and space the research on TEBC should be combined with a particular region or regional type. On the basis of tourism environment bearing capacity theory, a preliminary index system of TEBC has been set up in Kanas resort Through questionnaire interview experts relative data analysis and TEBC calculation of each component the paper concluded the following results (1) The feasible number of TEBC in Kanas Scenic area is 2352 people per day and the maximum one is 2822 people per day which was determined by the ecological tourism environment bearing capacity; (2) The annual TEBC drops to underload in off season but increases substantially in the midseason even keeps overburden in the peak of busy season; (3) The utilization level of TEBC is of difference in every spots evidently and a large number of tourists often get together near the fishing pavilion and Kanas lake. A series of regulation measures such as spatiotemporal scattering of tourists new spots constructions were brought forward to solve the above questions.
