The construction of Luoyang as an internationally recognized cultural tourist attraction city has undergone four stages of development，namely incubation，proposal，full implementation and further improvement. It has achieved great results in cultural tourism，cultural undertakings，cultural industries，cultural tourism brand innovation capabilities，cultural tourism ecological environment，integral model of culture and tourism and other works. But at the same time，there are problems such as insufficient traditional historical and cultural studies，weak discipline leadership，low degree internationalization，and inadequate openness. Moreover，the cultural and tourism service system needs to be improved；the cultural and tourism integration industry chain needs to be enhanced；the economic benefits of cultural and tourism integration are not obvious enough；the city is not sufficiently well known，so the promotion and marketing efforts need to be increased. Therefore，this article explores the development direction for further development of construction of Luoyang as an internationally recognized cultural tourist attraction city in the following aspects：to learn from other cities’ experience and strengths；to improve forward-looking top-level design；to import and cultivate simultaneously；to build a cultural and tourism think tank that combines professionalism and amateurism；to excavate and utilize cultural relics；to exploit the use of exhibition sites；to consolidate the cultural carrier of Heluo classics；to innovate slogan channels；to create a precise，three-dimensional，multi-faceted publicity system；to deepen integration of cultural and tourism；to enhance the service-oriented and complete power carrier；to promote the cultural and tourism brand；to further enhance the international fame of Luoyang’s impression and flair.
