Abstract: The interrelationship between the eco-tourism resources and the eco-tourism commodity,was analyzed,as well as the value and the price of eco-tourism commodity.The main body of eco-tourism commodity was natural resource, which was a main contributor to the value, and should be a main constituent in the commodity price. However, the traditional theory about the price constitution of tourism commodity could not explain correctly the price constitution of eco-tourism commodity. Under the guide of traditional price theory of tourism commodity, the theoretic value and the operating price of eco-tourism commodity did not reflect the nature of eco-tourism commodity, the main contributor of the price of eco-tourism commodity was ignored or misplaced. It would retard directly the sustainable development of eco-tourism.
