以黄石市为例，研究老工业城市如何利用自身优势发展旅游，重点发展城市旅游、体育旅游、会展旅游、工业旅游和农业观光旅游，以在激烈的旅游市场中取得成功。
Academics studying tourism often neglects the city as a type of tourism destination, while seeing it mainly as the originof tourist flows, and the tourist industry has not been perceived as a significant industry in the past time. Recently, because ofthe recession of the basic industries and the function of the industry of tourism promotion to boost and revival the city, the govern-ments of cities changed the attitudes to the tourism industry. So the shift in tourism policy quickly became visible on the ground.In many cities, convention centres, aquariums, domed stadiums, festival market-places, atrium hotels, concert halls andwalking streets were built, waterfronts were redevelopment, new museums have been opened. But the traditional old industrialcities always faced more difficulties when they developed the tourism industry. Since the poor urban landscapes, serious pollutionof the environment and the old urban images, their tourism plannings have more challenge. This paper is a case study of Huang-shi city, which points out that if the old industry cities may make best use of the advantages and by pass the disadvantages intheir development of tourism, and pay more attention to the development of urban tourism, sports tourism, the conference tourismand exhibition tourism, industrial tourism and agricultural visit tourism, they will meet with success in the fierce rivalry of thetourist market.
