Since the21st century, the world’s major developed countries have undergone rapid changes in industrial structure, gradually from the "industrial-based economy" to "service-based economy". The tertiary industry, especially the service sector has become the new focus of the economic development in the countries and regions of the world. Driven by globalization and the rapid development of information technology, in order to transfer to modern service industries, some traditional service industries need to innovate and change the way they used as usual. As a "green industry", Tourism industry, famous for its relevance, comprehensive, wide coverage long industrial chain, has been seen as the only way by many countries to promote national economic development and promote economic restructuring and upgrading. In Shanxi Province the economy has been mainly pulled by coal industry. Now faced with the status of resource depletion and environmental pollution, it is imperative to readjust the industrial structure and boost economy transition. In the "12th Five-Year Plan", Shanxi has put forward a transformation of the tourism industry across the province to build a leading industry in the development of strategic pillar industries and the modern service industry which the people will be satisfied with. To change tourism industry into a modern service industry and pillar industries, it not only relies on the development of the tourism industry by itself, but also needs support of the producer services matched with tourism. Producer services industry, as an important part of the modern service industry, has been seen as a pillar industry in many western countries. Besides it has been treated as an important driving force to promote industrial restructuring and upgrading and improve the country’s competitiveness. Producer services not only can reduce operating costs for tourism enterprises, but also can improve innovation capacity and efficiency. What’s more, it can highlight the tourism product differentiation and enhance the value of the products, that will promote the tourism industry transition to the modern service industry.In this context, the study on the influence of producer service industry in the tourism industry has a very important practical significance. From the theoretical and empirical, it can provide a theoretical basis to promote the tourism industry to become a pillar industry and modern service industry. This article sees the producer services industry and the tourism industry as the research object. Based on elaborate on the concept and connotation of producer services and the tourism industry, we analyse the status of the tourism industry and producer services industry, as well as the problems, and further through the data collected from "Shanxi Statistical Yearbook "and Shanxi Province Statistical Information Website, using quantitative analysis methods and the input-output method, we reach a conclusion of the degree of association and the input and output efficiency between producer services industry and the tourism industry. Finally, from the three aspects such as the government level, industry level and corporate level, we put forward policy recommendations to enabling the producer services and the tourism industry to the integrated development of countermeasures.
