In this work, 19 indicators selected in three aspects, including economic competitive advantage, competitive potential, and basic support, were used to evaluate the tourism competitiveness of cities in Guangdong Province. By using the method of grey relational analysis based on entropy weight, the tourism competitiveness of every city in Guangdong was evaluated, and the results show that the comprehensive evaluation indexes of tourism competitiveness in Guangzhou and Shenzhen are much higher than in the other cities. In the comprehensive ranking, the first part includes Dongguan, Foshan, Zhuhai, Huizhou, and so on, and the last part includes Jieyang, Chaozhou, Shanwei, Yangjiang, and so on. Furthermore a preliminary study on the relationship between urban size and urban tourism competitiveness was made. The regional pattern of tourism in Guangdong shows a core-edge structure surrounding the Pearl River Delta region. Our method was compared with TOPSIS method, and we analyzed the reliability of distinguishing coefficients and the origin of data volatility. In this work the advice and strategy were proposed for improving tourism competitiveness of Guangdong Province at urban scale and regional scale.
