China is a large agricultural country. At the end of 2011, rural residents accounted for 48.7% of the total population. Without the participation of rural residents, the development of China's tourism would be incomplete. The outset of rural residents' tourism will be crucial to 50% of China's tourism market. This article, through two years' questionnaire surveys, interviewed 600 rural residents from 38 villages in Zhejiang province, analyzed the current situation of rural residents' tourism market and rural residents' tourism consumption behavior. This survey provided theoretical researches for developing the tourism market of rural residents, and had some significance on stimulating domestic demand, promoting economic growth and improving the standard of rural residents' life.Key words: Zhejiang provincerural residentstourism marketcurrent situationconsumption behavior Notes1 Traveling rate = the number of tourists/the whole national population.2 Data Sources: National Bureau of Statistics Urban Social and Economic Investigations Division (Citation2011).3 Note (Aaker & Day, Citation1990, pp. 392–393): When the proportions within a population are unknown, the usual procedure is to assume the worst case, that is, where population variance is at its maximum. Here, a "conservative response format of 50/50%" means that we assume that 50% of the population will have a negative attitude, and the other 50% have a positive attitude to any particular question. Since a 95% confidence level with a 5% sampling error was selected, our required sample size is n = (1.96)2 (0.50)(0.50)/(0.05)2 = 384.16; rounded to 400. Sample-size calculation is independent of the size of the total population. It is the sampling size that determines the error. See Aaker and Day (Citation1990, pp. 392–393)
