The rapid development of tourism has brought us great economic benefits. However, more and more negative effect on ecology has begun to emerge with large resources and energy consumption. At present, how to improve harmonious development of tourism economy and ecological environment has been a study focus. The mathematic model of the relationship between tourism economy and ecological environment was constructed in this paper, in order to achieve an empirical analysis on the harmonious development of tourism economy and the ecological environment in Harbin City from 2000 and 2010. The results shows that the alternative augmentation of tourism economy and the ecological environment has improved from being slight disorder to being primary coordinated. The tourism economy and the ecological environment share a positive interaction and harmonious development with a coupling coordination. Nevertheless, the level of coupling degree and coordination is still too low. And some countermeasures should be taken to promote the sustainable development of tourism.
