مستخلص: Sense of security is the "barometer" of safe condition in tourist destinations as well as the basic requirement of tourists. The paper, through literature review, analysis of case studies and online network comment data, sums up the affecting factors of tourists' sense of security and by way of questionnaire survey of tourists coming to visit Quanzhou and adopting factor analysis, extracts five factors that affect their sense of security; public order; tourist environment; service content; regional culture and perceived information. By applying K-Means Cluster Analysis, we divide tourists into 3 categories; namely, "neutral-type", "cautious-type" and "adventurous-type". By adopting multi-regression analysis, we test the inter-relationship between five factors of tourists' sense of security and their safe expectation, in which perceived information, tourist environment, public order and service content exert positive impact on tourists' safe expectation, while regional culture is negatively related to their safe expectation.
