This paper takes Mount Wuyi - a world natural and cultural heritage site - as an example. It collects data through questionnaires, employs factor analysis to explore tourism attraction of world heritage and adopts the ologit model for regression analysis of tourist satisfaction. The results show: firstly, world heritage brand significantly enhances the attractiveness of tourist attractions. Secondly, natural
landscape, tea culture, ecological environment, accommodation, transportation, ticket price, staff service quality and world heritage brand all significantly and positively influence tourists’ overall satisfaction while cultural relics, security conditions and individual characteristics have no significant impact.
